Awake: 6:00am Temp 52 Clear Overnight @ San Diego, CA
Kathy walks to the campground office & makes a reservation for a month in
2006. It’s not the site we would like but the price is easier to swallow.
People can now reserve a site 2 yrs in advance & they do.
For the last 3 days, we have been parked in a pull thru site to make an
easier departure this morning. But so many rigs pulled in yesterday
across the street that it would be a maneuvering spectacle to make it thru
the maze. Backing out will work…we do so & leave the Campland on the Bay @
10:18am. It’s a busy driving day traveling on I-15 through Escondido,
Temecula, Eastern Los Angeles, etc. Where is everyone going?
Several hrs later as we exit I-15 onto a 2 lane road with broken up
asphalt, Kathy looks @ me & asks the same question I’m thinking: “Where
are we going?” Now our road takes a turn & there are signs up ahead: “road
work in progress” and the asphalt turns to dirt & sand. We begin to
question our campground choice when up comes another sign: Twin Lakes RV
Park 2.5 miles. The last ½ mile was dusty dirt, but we arrive safely@
2:37pm.
Today’s travel: 4+16 hrs 206 miles 26.3 gal 7.86 mpg 50.2 avg speed
We have never been greeted like this place did when entering a campground.
Manager Jan stands by our door with her clipboard until the door is open.
I fill out the camp registration form & she assigns a site with my
approval. So we park, hook up our utilities & take a walk around the
campground for exercise & curiosity. Our walk time is short because the
Twin Lakes RV Park is rather small…but big rig friendly, 10 full hookups &
40 sites total. After being in the crowded atmosphere of The Campland on
the Bay, I felt rather relaxed to be in a place that really had nothing
much to see or do.
Before dinner, we sit on our folding camping chairs by the lake & have
some cheese with our wine. It’s a very quiet & serene campground in the
desert.
8:30pm Dinner: Tuna salad with corn chips.
With our TV antenna raised, we can receive 4 or 5 channels but there is
nothing of interest to watch, so we both do some magazine reading.
Today’s high temp…in the 80’s. Lights out: 10:48pm
