Sacramento, CA

We left Bakersfield this morning and proceeded to Sacramento.  On the way we made a stop in Modesto to see where Fran’s father is buried.  He died in 2009 with Fran and her brother and sisters being told about it (by the new wife) months after it happened.  They were never told about any service or such for him.  For those in the family, here is a picture of his niche

From there we drove to West Sacramento as there was a KOA campground that seemed nice.  WRONG!  Generally we have been very happy with KOA’s and this one looked good via Google Earth and from the write-ups.  Actually it is all rock and dirt sites and really just average.  We only paid for two nights and most likely will move on.  Here is a picture of our site.

A little disappointed with this selection, but that is going to happen once in awhile. 

The issue that is nagging me at the moment is our DirecTV.  It has been hit or miss in setting it up over the past few weeks and I am frustrated trying to diagnose the issue.  So far I have spent around $300 buying a new dish, a digital meter and a back up standard definition dish, and still am having difficulty locating the satellite.  I never had this problem before.  I spoke with DirecTV tonight to see if I can get a service tech to come out to the trailer and check out my system and give me some instruction on set up procedures.  They first want me to try a couple of things, and if they do not work, then call back and they will arrange for a local tech to come out.
