Still looking for that “go-to” quickie camping site and we think we’ve found it. Orange Grove RV Park in Bakersfield is just about 1 hour from the house and a really easy drive.  The park is clean, and the spaces are really wide with full hook-ups and picnic tables.  Each site has its own orange tree.  The trees were blooming and the whole area smelled like Hawaii…only stronger.  It was heavenly.

A ½ mile walk to a fruit and nut shack made for a nice morning on Saturday and we scored some yummy treats. The people staying at this RV park were really friendly and we talked to several who were just stopping there on their way through…some were on a 3 month excursion!  I can’t wait until we can do that.

Clubhouse was gorgeous and there’s a group poker game every Saturday night. All are welcome.  Bathrooms, showers, laundry, and pool were spotless.  We’ll be regulars at Orange Grove for sure.

 

Three more lights in the coach went out this trip. I was in contact with Tyler at Camping World and he has ordered them all.  I think it’s time they look for a possible electrical issue…

We had an appointment at Camping World to get a lot of items fixed on the RV. Now our satellite TV and radio both work as do several other little items. They had to order the lights that went out already.  LED’s can’t be replaced I guess?  The whole light assembly needs to be changed out…this isn’t exciting news.  While they worked on the coach we went to lunch, the mall, and to a movie.  We stayed at Travel Village that night and as before, it was really nice.

Check out our new poof’s for the coach!  They are the perfect ottoman for traveling!  Also check out the mysterious shavings we keep finding next to the living room slide when we travel.  Tyler at Camping World says it’s totally normal…

It’s worthy to note that we took the 5 north to the 138 going home and the grade was crazy steep and the truckers were jerks.  We’ll stick to the 5 south to the 14 north in the future 🙂

Can’t wait for Orange Grove in 3 weeks!
