Monday, May 22nd, 2017….. Our trip ‘officially’ began this morning when
we prepped the motorhome and hooked up the car.
We had spent the last 8 night at the Garden Grove Elks Lodge (#1952) of
which I am a 13 year member. Oddly, we knew very little about the rv’s and how
it worked. Like most Elk Lodges across
the country, this one has rv sites with water and electric and a dump
station. We stayed here as the Pod was
delivered to the house and was loaded.
Then we had to wait for Jeff’s van to get picked up for transport to
Florida. Turns out the pickup was done
on Friday, the same day escrow closed.
We decided to leave on Monday so I set out to make travel plans for the
trip to Eugene. First stop was
Bakersfield. Only 155 miles but we
wanted to stop to see Lydia’s brother Stan and his wife Joy before we headed
out. We checked in at the Bakersfield RV
Resort and headed to their home. Nice
visit and we went to dinner afterward and then said our goodbyes.
Tuesday, May 23rd, 2017….. This morning we headed
out about 7:30 (to try to beat the heat) and drove 254 miles to Flag City RV
Resort in Lodi. Once in camp and settled
in, we rested a bit then headed out to dinner.
We had passed a Spaghetti Factory a few miles back (in Stockton) so we headed
there and enjoyed a nice meal. We were given several (visa) gift cards from
friends and family which we have been using so we thank you all for that! Afterward, we went to Walmart and got a few
items then went back to the rig. Later,
we went over and used the pool for a while.
It is 98° here today so the water was refreshing! Afterward, we settled back in for a quiet
night and prepped the rig for tomorrow’s travel. Oh yeah, we got a text from
Jeff this afternoon that he received the van today with no issues. Yaaay!
Wednesday, May 24th, 2017….. We have a Flying J
station just down the street from the campground so we stopped there on the way
out to fuel up. We have another 250 mile
drive today to get to Mt Shasta RV Park.
Even though we left camp around 7:30
it was still warm. But it’s better than driving through the heat of the
day! We got into Abram’s Lake RV in Mt Shasta
about 12:30 and got set up. No one has
been in the office but we knew the amount and self registered and paid. We went into town and had lunch at Taco Bell
and then stopped at the market to pick up some pork and potatoes for dinner.
We
hung around the rig and rested for a while.
I took a walk around the campground and the hiking trail which was
nice. Then it was back to the rig to
catch up on the DWTS finals that we taped yesterday. Ok, we now saw who won. I’m good with that. He deserved it. The weather is a bit cooler
here in the mountains so I bet it will be nice sleeping tonight!
