Wilderness Lakes in Menifee, California

On Wednesday we had a great dinner with our nephew Chip.  He is a math teacher at the High School he graduated from.  This is his first year as a full time teacher and at this school.  Last year he was a substitute at a High School in Madera and worked most of the year as a sub but now he has his own regular classes.  He teaches Algebra 1 and II.  We had a good visit with him.

We left Fresno early Thursday morning so we could get through San Bernardino and Los Angeles area before traffic gets too bad.  At Tehachapi we fueled up and changed drivers.  As we got down in the Mojave Desert area Ted was having a good time watching all of the aircraft.  He saw a C130 and a B-1.  You don't see the B-1's very often any more.  The next thing we saw was Space Shuttle Endeavor!  We knew it was coming to California but had not paid attention as to when it would be coming here.   As we got closer to Edwards AFB we could see it really well and there were throngs of people pulled over everywhere along the road and the off ramps!  I usually take the pictures so we got none since I was driving!   I did take a couple of pictures off the tv yesterday when she took her farewell tour flying around Sacramento and San Francisco before landing in Los Angeles. Her final stop is the California Science Museum in Los Angeles.

We continued on and made it to our campground without trouble and we will be here for a little over a week.  We will get truck serviced and we have an appointment at Camping World to get the air conditioner looked at that was repaired in Indiana in July. 

Tonight we had the steak dinner at the campground.  It was a huge steak, very tender and cooked perfectly!  We had a good dinner.  It's hotter down here than it was in Las Vegas or Fresno but we are managing to keep the RV fairly cool!

Closer to San Diego..."Ain't Life Grand!"
