Motel prices are a bit higher this week due to the Thanksgiving holiday this week. I eat a big roast-chicken supper at the Mad Greek and buy four 1.5-litre bottles of water and two propane bottles for the trip.
If it were legal to carry propane on Amtrak, I would have bought my propane bottles in San José.
The Country Store is out of propane bottles today, so I end up buying them at the much more expensive Baker Market.
