WE HAVE ARRIVED!!!!! It is soooooooooooo beautiful here in this RV Resort. Surrounded by jagged mountains and Lake Havasu behind us.
It is a spotless RV Resort, just spotless.
We seem to be close to everything, which is nice.
Now you can email me as I will not do the blog for quite a while.
Until later,

Today we leave Bakersfield for Lake Havasu. It is a little over 300miles and a good 7 hour drive. I will follow Ken in the car over the pass Tehachapi so he can get a good run with the motorhome as we are loaded to the hilt. Then at the top we will hook the car back onto the motorhome.
I forgot to tell you all but the first night here in Bakersfield around 8 PM I heard sirens and a helicopter right outside the gate of the RV Park, about 1 block. The next morning 2 retired, married, man and woman cops from Portland were walking their little dog and they told us the helicopter had his spotlight on the car they were chasing!! I swear, thought we were in the middle of a filming of "COPS!!!" Think all the Bakersfield police cars were out there as the sirens sounded like 100. Exciting.
We will try to get out of here by 8 AM and get to Havasu by at least 4 or 4:30.
We went to a store yesterday called Food Maxx and what a produce section they had. We went crazy buying veggies like they were going out of style. Very inexpensive too.
Well, more when we get settled in Havasu. Stay warm.

We have arrived in Bakersfield, CA. Such a nice city. We are at the A Country RV Park and we love this park. We are parked next to our neighbors we were next to the last time we were here, another retired electrician!!!
We are going to wash the motorhome today as it is a little dirty. They allow that here in this park. I will do laundry as well.
My daughter's significant other's Mom had a massive stroke last week and she is in a critical Rehab home to assist her in coming back to herself, if it is possible. She still can't swallow so it is hard for her. Her left side is paralized and she will need extensive rehab to help her. She is talking though.
We will stay here in Bakersfield for 2 days and just relax as it is a 7 hour drive to Lake Havasu.
Weather here in beautiful. Much warmer in Havasu though.
Until later,

Good Morning from Lodi, California:
Let me tell you about these California drivers!!!!! They are the worst. We had our blinker on to pass a herd of trucks on I 5 and here comes this pickup we thought was going to hurry up and pass us but nooooooooooooooooo, he stopped right next to us and just sat there!!! When you are driving one of these big machines, you need to get a run at some of the hills but this time especially towing a car and loaded to the hilt, we couldn't get the momentum we needed to get going and this jerk didn't help at all!! Ken finally blew that loud diesel horn and he moved like he was shot, think he had to go back home to change his shorts too!!!
We got to Lodi early yesterday and was so nice to just get the coach ready and sit and relax for a while.
We went to dinner about 5, decided to hit the Travel America Buffet and not cook. Not bad. They do have pretty good food and easy access to fuel pumps as well.
We will go to Bakersfield today and then tomorrow leave for our destination in Lake Havasu.
Enjoy your day as our weather here is gorgeous. It was 76 here and just perfect. Supposed to be that again today.
Until later,

Good California Morning!!
It was in the 70's when we arrived in Redding about 4:30 and so nice and warm. Got all hooked up, walked across the street to the restrooms and we both took a long, hot shower, separately, of course. Then we came back to the coach and cooked dinner, did dishes and sat down to watch TV. We both got tired at 9:30 so went to bed. It was so quiet here as well and we both got really great sleep.
Ken is having trouble getting his breath this morning so I am hoping when we get to Havasu I can convince him to see a Pulmonary doctor. Cross your fingers. I want to tell you men though, you are terrible patients!!!! You are very stubborn.
Today we will try to get to Bakersfield but it is 433 miles away and a long drive. Too much for Ken but he does surprise me.
They are calling for rain so hopefully the roads won't be too bad.
More later,
Peggy

Wow, did it ever rain!!! Then it stopped and stayed nice and warm.
We did our grocery shopping and came home and got ready to go to dinner with our friends Bob and Colleen. We had so much fun with then as we always do. Then we went up to see their home before it sells, and beautiful it is. We visited for a while then they followed us back to the motorhome as Ken had brought the rest of Bob's electric drill box and whatever else went with it. (Guy stuff)
Today we leave for points south. Not sure where we will stop tonight, playing it by ear. We both got so much rest last night and neither of us woke up until after 5 this morning. We went to bed at 9:00!!!!! We really needed the sleep and rest. Now we will be ready for our trip.
So now I just want to drink my coffee with my husband, relax, watch the news on TV and get ready to start our journey by 10:00.

Good Morning: Deerwood was sooooooooooo quiet and peaceful!!! It is such a beautiful RV Park.
Guess Ken had to sleep on the couch at about 3 am as he said I was 'practicing' for the opera!! Poor guy, we both snore but I go to sleep before he does so that's the rule "the first one that goes to sleep says asleep!!" So he got stuck with Coco at his feet.
Today it is going to rain but we don't care. We are just going to relax and enjoy NOT packing or moving!!!
We will visit with our friends, Bob and Colleen and see their home before they sell it and go to dinner as well.
Then in the morning, about 10 am, we will get started towards Arizona!!
Until later,
Peggy
