Bakersfield CA

San Antonio Lake was great. The rally was really fun with some old friends and some new ones. Susan and I gave a Seminar on Fulltiming and it seemed to go well. It was a lot longer (almost 3 hours) than I had planned but everyone stuck it out. There were a few future-fulltimers there that were eager to hear what we had to say. It rained most off the weekend but we had the clubroom and kept nice and warm and dry. The food was great and we played Bingo with White elephant gifts. The park is full of deer, squirrels, and a variety of birds. No one wanted to go home.

Last night we spent the night at Wine Country RV Resort in Paso Robles. We left the San Antonio Lake Rally and in about an hour we were at the Wine Country Resort. As you know we don’t travel very fast, or far. The Wine Country Resort is nice but we just used it as a stopover on the way to Bakersfield, which is where we are now.

We are at a favorite RV park called Orange Grove RV Park. It is appropriately named because it is in the middle of what used to be an orange grove. They cleared enough trees to put in some paved roads and gravel sites. They let you pick all the oranges you need which is what we did today. They are real juicy and sweet. We will stay here for a couple of nights to get some laundry done. I will hit the Camping World store here too. The weather finally cleared up and today was sunny. It is still cool but at least it is not raining. As we were heading here we drove past a few almond groves. The trees are in bloom so they brought in some boxes of bees for pollination. Some of the bees must have been Kamikaze bees because they are all over the front of the motorhome.
