First stop: Death Valley
Arrival at Ontario International Airport in southern California and pickup from our hotel by Lazy Daze.
Then... our first meeting with Oki.  Even better than we imagined!
After the marathon training session...  we connect with our driver for the lonely drive to Las Vegas
Finally, Oki is ours!  
 
After giving her a $170 dose of fuels, a truck stop weigh-in (Oki came in at 12,480 lbs, significantly under her max allowed weight) and a couple of days visiting Wal-mart  and Camping World, we embark on our journey to Indiana.
