After 3 days in the Yosemite area, we trudged back down the snaky roads bound for Vineyard RV Park in Vacaville, CA. We will spend a week here before heading just a little closer to the Napa Valley area. We have some housekeeping chores to do and a trip to Sacramento is also in the …
We decided to take a day trip to Sonora, CA about 27 miles back in the Valley. We had a nice lunch at Diamondback Grill where our waitress made a suggestion to take a nice ride on Wards Ferry Road. She said it was primarily known to locals and a beautiful drive back to where …
One of my favorite parks that left an impression on me as a child. We left out pretty early today to avoid the crowds and boy was that a great idea. We got to the gates about 8:15 in the morning to no lines and headed straight to the valley. After hiking about 6 miles …
Today we drove to Yosemite Pines RV park for our impending trip to the Yosemite National Park. We stopped for a quick oil change in Turlock and using Valley Mobile Oil which is an outstanding way to get your oil change by the way. They basically come to where you are and change service your …

Headed out to San Simeon for a little day trip today. Weather here along the coast has been exceptionally windy and will continue today so we opted for a morning ride so we are back early. We visited a beach where many Elephant Seals were hanging out. Apparently it is molting season. Also took a …
After nine great days in Malibu, today we set off for Morro Bay and the Morro Dune RV Resort. We tried to do all HWY 1 but that turned out not to be such a great idea. Parts of the PCH were down to one lane and we got tied up for about 1/2 trying …
