Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, it's off to Mexico!
We made a relaxed departure from Kirk Road New Years Eve morning. With sunshine warming the road ahead of us, our climb over the Siskyou Pass was successfully behind us by mid-afternoon - Ahhhh! Rolling ranch land and all shapes and sizes of barns kept the long I-5 drive interesting. We were seranaded by Jimmy Buffet (Cheeseburger in Paradise), Van Morrison (Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?) and other favorite artists and sang our way to Corning where we celebrated New Years Eve at the Rolling Hills Casino and RV Park.. We "boon-docked" along side the big rigs, with their engines growling through the night to save a few pennies. HAH! The casino proprietors (sneaky devils) got us at the buffet line (read: feed lot!).
Fueled by McDonald's java, we were on the road at daybreak, headed down through the Sacramento Valley. Rosey sky over the hills to the West; the rising Sun punched up the volume on the vapor trails of early flights in the brightening sky to the East.....clouds of geese circling over the rice fields darkened the sky.....
Orange Grove RV Park just east of Bakersfield is our resting spot for this evening...... Do you have any idea how SWEET a fresh-picked orange tastes?!? Heaven!!!
AND it's 72 degrees! We're looking forward to some fresh-squeezed juice in the morning brfore we take off.
Tomorrow, we have our sites set on Yuma, Arizona...then to Tucson. Over the border on January 4 and then two serious days of driving to get to Mazatlan on January 6. We will update our travel journal as WiFi availability along the way permits.
Keep those candles lit, por favor!
Hasta luego!
