Mary is no longer available for RV traveling, but we remain good friends.

Yesterday I drove the motorhome 113 miles from Acton to Bakersfield, California.

 

 

I’ve had a previous experience with high winds in this area in 2011. Here’s my blog link from that event…

So, instead of lingering, I beat feet over the hill 4,062 of elevation and into Bakersfield.

 

Yesterday’s trip was very pleasant…essentially no wind.

 

 

I arrived in Bakersfield and parked at Moose Club #2178. I have parked here on my way going south and north for a number of years. Nice electric hookup here allows me a convenient and comfortable stay at this active and friendly club.

I’ll visit a friend while here. I’m planning to depart tomorrow.

 

 

 

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PHOTOS.

Forecast for today is mostly cloudy and 73 degrees.

Enjoying nice weather is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Enjoying 65-75 degree temperatures with low humidity most of the year is a primary joy in the RVing lifestyle!

My current travel rig is a 2006 Fleetwood 26′ Class A Motorhome and a towed 1986 Ford Bronco II, Eddie Bauer Model. This photo was taken in the desert at Slab City near Niland, California…

On October 27, 2012, I created a two-minute video titled America The Beautiful. The music America The Beautiful is by Christopher W. French. The photos, which I randomly selected, are from the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, Washington and West Virginia (not shown in that order)…are mine. Yup, That’s me standing in front of the Post Office in Luckenbach, Texas…Y’all!
