Saturday, June 5, 2010

Oh, life on the road....and the trials and tribulations that come along with it. First, the pleasant (actually there is no unpleasant so don't fret already!): had a good trip up here to Temecula, a little more than an hour north of San Diego. Here for an RV rally. There are 85 rigs up here, about 170 people. I think this resort actually has 500 RV sites but we have a whole separate section. However, this being the start of a summer weekend, there are lots of kids at the pool(s) and water slide, etc. Fortunately I am away from the noise and commotion.

Sorry I am not adept at much techno stuff so no pictures. But this a heavily treed area, large California oaks and various others. Even some quaking Aspen.

Now the availabity of facilities...not so much. We are about 8 to 10 miles out of town (visualize shopping for milk), and the country store here at the resort has more country than store. But souvenir tee shirts abound.

Why the facilities matter this morning: I need to bake some brownies for our pot luck supper tonight. I thought I had everything I needed, but no cooking oil on board. Iwill not travel 10 miles to get cooking oil. Either someone better have some in their rig or I will substitute apple sauce for it. Healthier anyway. I will sneak them onto the serving table so that if they don't taste good, I can just deny that they are mine.


Today there are hot air balloon rides (no, I don't do that, too claustrophobic) and wine tasting. There is also a doggie beauty contest. Can you just imagine! Everyone (dogs, that is)has cute costumes. Like child beauty contests. I don't have a dog along, I won't go to the pageant. Tonight, the hot air balloons are all lit up so I may go to that. They say it is gorgeous.

All in all, it is a good rally. I probably know about 25% of the people so it is fun.

Hope you are all doing well. More later.
