Bakersfield

We left Pomona on Wednesday with no incident.  We were able to clear all the trees and no tears to the roof.  This was only after I walked multiple routes in the park to heck for any issues.

Our nest destination was Bakersfield where Fran has some relatives.  It was only a 3 hour drive from Pomona with some LA traffic and having to climb and descend the Grapevine (Interstate 5).  The truck did well pulling the trailer up and down the hill.  The integrated engine brake got a full workout on the descent!

Bakersfield has numerous RV parks, many of which looked and sounded very nice from internet research.  We settled on one, A Country RV Park, that was a little removed from the busiest parts of the city.  It has really nice spaces, wide and level with some trees and grass to break up the concrete and asphalt.  Since we arrived fairly early in the day we got and end space which is nice as we only have a neighbor on one side.

The park fills up each night with overnighters, but the park is quiet and very clean.

Probably here until early next week.  Our next destination is up in the air but most likely we will work our way north to Oregon.  If you have any suggestions, feel free to comment.
