We took HWY 99 from Sacramento to Bakersfield.  We stopped at a REALLY NICE rest area with LOTS of LUSH GREEN GRASS that the girls were allowed to walk on.  Some rest areas have "pet areas" that  are usually really awful...no grass, rocks, etc.  We were so surprised to find the green grass for them and, of course, they were so happy to pee in grass!   Ruby continues to draw a lot of attention.  Here, a British woman asked to pet her and as she left, she thanked me for allowing her to "stroke" my dog........

Bakersfield is HOT, HOT, HOT!  (I know, Tucson will be hotter)

We were all miserable until the A/C kicked in!  It was 95 outside when we got in but the A/C made short work of cooling down the RV....THANKFULLY!

We have been noticing street/road names on our trip down to Tucson and so far, "Easy Street" is the winner....everyone wants to live on EASY STREET!  (I must admit Wild Pony holds some appeal for me too)

We stayed at a really nice RV resort and had an excellent GRASS yard for the girls which they LOVED.

Next door to the RV park was a "I don't know what" (private land, park, ???) but large groups of Hispanic people party there on a regular basis according to  a neighbor in the RV park....they started about 4 PM.....the band rocked out most of the night..........our RV rocked in time to the music I think........after the music stopped, the karaoke started.....I'm sure most of the singers were TOTALLY drunk.........I was able to sleep though most of it and when it did wake me up, it made me laugh.........I should have walked over there and asked to join them......my "natural" singing voice wouldn't have been much worse than their drunk efforts.  Ya gotta give 'em credit; they do know how to party!
