We left the Rolling Hills Casino RV Park in Corning this morning at 7:45 heading south down the I-5. It was a cool 38F and although the sun was coming out - it was very hazy. As most of the trip was very flat driving, we set the Cruise Control to 58 MPH and slotted in with all the trucks.
At Stockton we hopped over to Hwy 99 and continued south. Almost all the highways are getting upgrades and there is a lot of construction which at one point almost gave me a heart attack. We had trucks on either side of us and the road took a jog to re-align - the truck on our right didn't want to jog I guess and almost ran us into the truck on our left. OMG!!! I think I almost pulled the grab handle off the truck. Lou - the typical truck driver didn't understand what I was so worked up about. Again I say OMG!!!
We stopped in a little place called Livingston for fuel and lunch and were back on the road in 20 minutes. While driving along it was very boring as the only thing to see was miles and miles of orchards on both sides of the highway. At Bakersfield we turned off onto Hwy 58 and then about 10 miles later turned off to the Orange Grove RV Park. We arrived at 3:15 and the temperature was a balmy 65F.
This is a really nice park with large pull-through, level, gravel sites which have full hookups and free cable and WiFi. Each site has orange trees that are loaded and you are encouraged to pick yourself some fresh fruit. This is our site.
We grabbed a bag and picked a bunch or yummy, juicy oranges.
These trees are loaded with oranges of all sizes.
All washed and ready to eat!
