April 11th ~ Driving from Kernville toward Los Angeles
Highway 178, heading south toward Los Angeles (more purple flowers on the hillside)
Another wonderful RV road trip was coming to a close. This was a short get-a-way, only one week, but it was a pleasure to witness so many amazing areas vivid with wildflowers. Continue reading
April 8-11th ~ Kernville, California
Kernville, California – exploring along the Kern River
After we soaked in the Super Bloom at Carrizo Plain National Monument, we decided we were not quite ready to head home, so the guys got their heads together and settled on booking three nights for us at Rivernook Campground in Kernville, CA. Continue reading
April 8th ~ Just outside of Bakersfield, CA
OK, what do we do now???
Getting from Buena Vista Aquatic Recreation Area to Rivernook Campground was an adventure all by itself…
Tim and I were in the lead vehicle, with Tim driving and me in charge of navigation. I spotted a large piece of carpet in the road and warned Tim to avoid hitting it. Continue reading
April 7th – BV Rec Area
Buena Vista Aquatic Recreation Area – Lake Webb
Since there were limited RV campgrounds in and near Carrizo Plain National Monument, we booked three nights just west of Bakersfield at the Buena Vista Aquatic Recreation Area. Continue reading
April 7th, 2019 ~ Carrizo Plains, California
Carrizo Plains along Hwy 58
There are not many camping options for a big rig in or near Carrizo Plains. The two sites within the park are limited, both in number of spots and size. They also do not have any hook-ups. So, to facilitate both of our rigs, Tim found us sites with a view of Lake Webb in the Buena Vista Aquatic Recreation Area, just west of Bakersfield. Continue reading
April 5th – 6th ~ Aqua Dulce, CA
Vasquez Rocks
It has been a couple of months since we loaded up the RV and hit the road. This time we once again met up with our good travel buddies, Dick and Karen. Our meeting point was in Agua Dulce, which is located about 45 miles north of Los Angeles. Continue reading

Yucaipa foliage
I never quite got my posts completed from our last RV trip (((embarrassed grin))).
Now that we are once again on the road, I thought I would do a quick post this evening to at least mention where our final stop at the end of January was – Yucaipa Regional Park Campground.
JANUARY 31, 2019 ~ Lilac Oaks Campground
Leigon
There is part of the story I left out of my write-up from Lilac Oaks Campground. I had hesitated on including this, but right up until our departure, this big character had been a welcome part of our stay. Continue reading
January 29th, 2019 – Temecula, CA
Welcome to Oak Mountain Winery
Karen found a great deal on Travelzoo for a lunch special at the winery. Check it out here. We got it for $35/couple, but today it shows $39/couple (regularly $75/couple).
Since we were camping about a half hour south of there, we thought that dining in their Cave Restaurant would make for a great lunch option. Continue reading
