Let me get caught up

We've been on the road for the past three days so its been hard to find the time to post. Let me get caught up now. Monday after having our furnace serviced at Camping World in Bakersfield, we finally hit the road around noon and drove up I-5 to a truck stop in Westley. The night we spent there was very noisy so we didn't get much sleep. We left Westley Tuesday morning and headed over I-580 to catch up with highway 101 just above San Francisco.

Tuesday on highway 101 was mostly vinards, and green rolling hills. We stopped a couple of times, once at Walmart but found it wasn't a Super Walmart so we continued on until we found a regular grocery store. We just needed a few things. We stopped for the night at Coyote Valley Casino. It was much quieter. Once we arrived we went in to let the security know we would be spending the night and signed up for players cards. Each card was loaded with $10, so we played the slots. We won enough to pay for us both to play bingo later that evening. Didn't win but had fun for a couple of hours.

This morning we left the casino and continued north on 101. It wasn't long before we were driving through the most beautiful country. We stared climbing through the redwoods. The road would go from a 4 lane highway to 2 lanes.



We stopped at a roadside place that did chain saw carvings out of redwood. Here I am with Smokey!!



It wasn't long after that we came down and around the corner there was the Pacific Ocean.



We arrived here at Kamp Klamath RV Park where we will stay for the next couple of days exploring the Redwood National Park.

It sure has been nice to see all the green hills and tall trees the past few days. As much as we loved being in Arizona for the winter, we were tired of Cactus and rocks!!

Family Day

Today we spent the day with family. Our granddaughter Ciera turned 15 last Thursday, so we had a party for her today.

Son Terry and his wife Sarah came up from LA for the day.



Everyone had a fun day riding dirt bikes. Grandson Ramey.

Happy Birthday Ciera.

Time to move on

Our time here at Lake Elizabeth Rv and Golf Resort has come to an end. Tommorow we are moving on to Bakersfield. We have been without cell phone coverage up here on the mountain but our internet has worked thanks to our Wilson Antenna.

Sunday we went into Santa Clarita to see friends Sharon and Terry. They own Karaoke Unlimited and we needed to purchase a new machine. We had a room that we used for karaoke singing in our sticks & bricks house. When we moved into the motorhome, we took our machines with us, but it was such a hassel to set them up that we very rarely did. So when the CDG player stopped working, we decided to look for a unit that was all in one. Sharon recommended the VocalPro Duet 2. Sunday we came home with the new machine. Wednesday they invited us down for dinner. It was a fun evening with friends.

Thursday was spent doing laundry and because they didn't have a laundry here at the campground, we had to make the trip into Lancaster. When we got home, Ed set the karaoke machine up and we did some singing. It was fun to go over some of the songs we always used to do. Of course it took us some time to remember them but think we did good.

I know we will enjoy this new machine a lot. Just hope our neighbors forgive us!!
