WILDERNESS LAKES

April 11th -April 22nd.

After leaving Palm Springs, we traveled to Wilderness Lakes RV in Menifee, CA.  This has always been one of our favorite parks.  On our usual travels, leaving the end of November, this is our first  stop  we stay at for 2-3 weeks. Since we went all across the Northern States, we hadn't been here, so we decided to stop on our way home. We are usually here in Dec and there are lots of empty spaces. Not this time.  This place is full, we got one of the few spaces left. WHEW!

We like to go to local wineries for wine tasting ( and buying). There is a large wine area in Temecula, 15 miles south. Beautiful wineries and vineyards that you can imagine are in Italy. 





Look at the size of this limo. It was huge, plus 2 smaller ones behind. Can't imagine how many this holds. We went inside and their 90 people wine tasting.  Luckily we were in another area.



This is a regular size limo that you see most of the time. 


I don't usually buy  knick knacks but I couldn't resist this one.  Only if this were true!



Wouldn't it be nice to drive this car around on a hot day. 



We went to see Diamond Lake Reservoir . It is the largest reservoir in southern CA. Wanted to see  how low it was because of the drought.  As you can see by the pictures, there is a line where the water should be





This is the longest  boat ramp I have ever seen. It is because the water is so low



Ducks and Geese wander all over the park and come right up to you.









Have to wonder about this RV. Notice the white round dome second from the right.  That is their TV reception.  How in the world do they get reception when it is covered with the tree? One of the mysteries of life to us.


I will only publish one more blog. That will be a synopsis of our trip, how many miles, how much diesel  etc. We are leaving for home tomorrow, a few weeks early.  Unfortunately, my Aunt  Laura passed away suddenly.  She is in Texas and will buried in the family cemetery in Kinmundy, IL. We are leaving to go home to Seattle so that we can fly out for the funeral.  She was a wonderful, loving woman. She was almost 91 and still very stylish for her age,  getting her hair done every week and she had just gotten a manicure.  She will be missed.  I am so glad that on this trip, we were able to spend 2 weeks with her in Odessa, Texas  Lots of one on one visiting.
