March 12th, 2010


Well, after a little while and a few hints, Carol figured out where I was taking her for the weekend, the California Poppy preserve. THough my initial thought was to stay at the RV resort in Bakersfield, it was a two hour drive from that park to the Poppy reserve, so instead, I opted for the Antellope valley fair grounds RV park in Lancaster. THis was where we stayed for the Southern California Samboree in September. All in all, the trip down from home went off without a hitch, but it looks like the forecasters got it wrong in saying it would not be windy. We awoke Saturday morning to a pretty good cross wind, making the slide toppers flap a lot. We shall be un-daunted though and take in the Poppy reserve today, though we may do most of our looking from the truck to keep our chapped lips to a minimum.

We were quite surprised how much we saw in the way of wild flowers as we made our way down the 99 on Friday however. With this in our minds, we are hopefull that the poppy reserve will be spectacular. For dinner, we're going to see if we can find a Red Lobster resturaunt.

I'll have another posting for the 13th here shortly.

Happy Camping! - Eric and Carol -
