Awake: 7:30am    Temp 42    sleep 7+23    sunny    overnight @ Sacramento, CA.

After breakfast, Kathy made several calls to campgrounds in San Diego...just searching for a place to park our motorhome over the Christmas holidays.

During her cell phone calls, I climbed the ladder to squeegee the dew off our slides. As I panned the view, I saw many trotters zipping around the track, getting ready for the races. What a great view here on the roof!

We left the Cal Expo RV Park in Sacramento @ 11:40 am, following I-80 Westbound, then switching to State Route-99 & then State Route-12 west, arriving @ the Flag City R.V. Resort in Lodi @ 12:50pm.

Today's travel: 48 miles    1+20 time    8 gal used    5.9 mpg    35 mph avg speed.

This is a new campground for us; only (4) yrs old & big rig friendly with extra amenities like instant phone service & DSL @ our campsite @ no extra charge. They also provide daily trash pick-up at our site & free daily newspaper, The Record. I called my sister, Mary Jo, & left a message of our arrival.

Before dinner, Ray & his son, Nathan, Skyped us for about (25-30) min. Having the new Apple computer & DSL high speed, Skyping is almost like being there in person. It's been quite some time since we've seen Nathan so it was great seeing & listening to him & finding out what he's been up to after college graduation. Ray & Sharon should be proud parents; he's doing well & is a fine young man.  How do we know that? Why we just had a good talk & visit with him!

 

Next we answered a Skype call from Nick & family. We were so impressed with Jerry on this call; he was very talkative & animated & very easy to understand as he told us about "nocturnal bats" & other stories. It was quite interesting how well this young man continued to keep our undivided attention with such expressive movements.  

At some point, Jerry was more interested in food than talking with us so Nick took over & downloaded the latest version of "Moveable Type" which I have been using for this Blog. Altogether, 1hr & 46 min of Skype time.  

Dinner: pulled pork with Rendezvous BB sauce, sourdough bread & fruit salad.

Evening movie: "That Uncertain Feeling" with Merle Oberon, Melvyn Douglas, Burgess Meredith, Alan Mowbray, etc. Chic little Lubitsch comedy about married couple with problems, and their absurd pianist friend. 1941. Cute, entertaining & somewhat romantic. 

Lights out: 12:34am.
