The last leg of our trip was a stay at the beautiful Lodgepole Campground in Sequoia National Park. Once again our site (152) was right on the water, the Marble Fork of the Kaweah River. The rapids were strong and yet soothing to the ear. Oh, the views! One afternoon we went for a bike…

Summer Vacation June 2017 – Part 3 Yosemite-Wawona Campground
Our plan was to enter Yosemite via the Arch Rock Entrance since we’d never been there before, but there had been a rock fall in the area of the 140, so we went south and took the entrance near Fish Camp. We’d never stayed at Wawona Campground before and were pleasantly surprised. We were in…
Summer Vacation June 2017 Part 2 – Half Moon Bay State Beach and San Francisco
We left Pismo Beach (see Part One of our trip) on Tuesday morning and made our way first to Monterey, CA to the Monterey Cemetery. My brother passed away in 2015 and I hadn’t been to the graveside since his funeral, and hadn’t seen his marker. I left some rocks I had painted and flowers….
Summer Vacation June 2017 Part 1 – Pismo Beach and Solvang, CA
We left early on a Friday morning to head to our first destination in Pismo Beach, but we wanted to take a quick detour and stop in Solvang. First, parking. I did a little research beforehand and found that the Solvang Veterans Memorial Hall has a big parking lot and allows RVs free daytime parking!…
Memorial Weekend 2017 – Santee Lakes, CA – Why we’re NOT GOING BACK!
This was our 4th time at Santee Lakes and we’ve always loved coming here. While we did have some nice times on this trip, we also had some disappointing things happen. First, the good parts. We stayed in Site 161 in Willow Loop. The site is at the end of the loop and it’s a…
South Carlsbad State Beach – April 2017
WE LOVE THIS PLACE! This was actually our 2nd visit to South Carlsbad SB. It’s a very popular campground and books many months in advance, but you can sometimes get in last minute on a cancellation, as we did on our first visit in January when we booked it the day before! If you’re within…
Yosemite National Park – Crane Flat Campground – June 16-21, 2016
None of us had ever been to Yosemite before, and this was only our 2nd camping trip ever. My dear Dad had lived with us for about 12 years, and the last several years of his life were very difficult. After several months of hospice, he passed away in late April 2016. I’m grateful for…
Our First Camping Trip in the PUP – Santee Lakes CA – May 2016
For our first camping trip we decided we didn’t want to venture too far away from home, just in case there were any problems. We also wanted to have full hookups. Santee Lakes in San Diego County, CA was actually recommended to us by the guy who sold us his PUP, and it was just…
