We left Park of the Sierras this morning for a short day of driving to reach Bakersfield (only 150 miles). 30 or so miles down CA 41 to Fresno where we picked up CA 99 South. I must say it was a fairly boring drive from that point – we left gorgeous rolling hills (in Coarsegold) to drive through flat, bleak, odiferous (cow mostly) areas, with lots of very dusty winds thrown in for the last 60 or so miles.
Fortunately our RV Park was a bit of an oasis – built in an orange grove! Every space had 2 or 3 orange trees loaded with fruit. It rained quite a bit during the night-only our second real rain since Whitehorse YK in June. In the a.m., there was no indication that it had rained – completely soaked into that dry, dry soil.
