Almost there!

Bakersfield River Run RV Park
Bakersfield, CA

After lots of miles of driving,
we finally have landed for a few nights at
in Bakersfield, CA.



New Year's eve we spent the night in a parking lot
at
Wild Horse Pass Casino in Chandler, AZ.


We got ahold of some friends of ours that live in Chandler.
Donna & Frank worked with us at Coyote RV resort
a few years back.
They are selling their motorhome, and have moved back into their house.
They came by and we went into the casino for a late lunch..


It was sure nice to catch up with them!

When they left, we decided to sign up for the comps
so we could play some slots for a few minutes.
Of course, we played on their money for all of 15 minutes before it was gone :-)

Once we were back in the RV around 7 pm,
we dressed warmly in jammies and crawled under the covers to keep warm.
Our bedroom TV runs on the batteries,
so I watched a little of the New Year's Eve festivities
until about 9 pm, and fell asleep.

Thursday we decided it was best to drive from there
straight through to Bakersfield,
where we had reserved a spot for the weekend.
We called and added an additional night.
George and I plan on spending some time
with my aunt & uncle and cousins.

Monday we'll be leaving here and going to our new spot
at Coyote Valley RV resort where we'll be workamping until May.

  4. That is one thing I miss about the Montana. A TV runs on the 12volt. We did not realize it until one night the power went out and I noticed that red light on the TV. VIOLA! Television! No such luck with our Cedar Creek. Can't have everything I guess. Unless of course we win the Power Ball. Thinking buying a ticket would give us a better chance.
