I forgot to mention that we saw a really cute business in Laytonville that we would have loved to stop at but they didn't have RV parking. It was called "Pour Girls Coffee" How cute is that!
The other thing that I would LOVE to see made into a national law....I think ANY crops, Orchards, big business complexes, etc. should have a sign by the road that identifies what it is. I'm finding one of my most used phrases is "I wonder what that is?"
Saturday we went by a very small water area that was FILLED with Egrets. Later on, we pulled over for a break and there were a few Egrets in the field with cows. One evidently got too close to a cow and the cow chased it off.
The only interesting road name we saw was: Sandy Mush Road
We drove south through Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto, Merced, stopping at Chowchilla. (Do you remember when the school bus, it's driver and kids on board were kidnapped and buried underground in Chowchilla?) I think it was made into a TV movie.

We spent the night at The Lakes RV & Golf Resort. WOW...pretty darn nice.
www.thelakesrv.com
If you want to buy a spot there, the "Lakeside" sites have been reduced from 115,000 to JUST 75,000
The Pull Thru sites are 65,000 from 98,000. That is the site we RENTED for the night only! :)

Wow that RV park looks really nice.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't remember the kidnapping, but there was a Walker, Texas Ranger segment that followed that event very closely in their story line. I'm glad to say that Walker (Chuck Norris) saved everyone just in time.
I just googled the Chowchilla incident---how terrifying!! All because some rich boys were bored and wanted money (like they never had enough!). Very, very, very sad.
