When Tom chose our current campground, the reviews mentioned issues with ants. We should have taken them seriously. We awoke this morning to a road of ants. I don’t know if you can see them in the picture well but they are there. Hundreds of them. Remember the movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding?” Well…

This morning we headed to Little Italy for their Saturday Market. It was teeming with people. I heard one little boy, say there are so many people. He wasn’t wrong. We had another “discussion” about parking, but managed to find something not too far away. I enjoyed a wonderful strawberry cannoli but I still think…

Today was supposed to be a short day of travel. It was definitely NOT. We were over an hour and a half later than we had planned. As we prepared to leave the Hollywood RV Park, Tom discovered the strap holding the back of the Vespa on the VersaHaul was broken. So, he spent a…

Yesterday we made the decision to remain in Los Angeles because the temperature at Joshua Tree was going to be around 107/108 degrees. Joshua Tree would have been hard to see, just from the truck. Speaking of the truck, I have a love/hate relationship with that thing. It certainly hauls us down the road but…

I started the day with laundry. What fun! But it has to be done. I chatted with a woman about the best machines and she pointed the good ones out. I told her not to use the dryer on the end, it didn’t dry. I considered washing the sheets but changing the sheets is too…

We started off the day, well Tom started off the day repairing the wiring that connects the trailer to the truck. It had detached just as we were parking the trailer on Saturday. This means there are no lights or brakes. As Tom was working on it, which he has had to do once before,…

Today was our first ballpark, Dodger Stadium. Dodgers vs Astros It sometimes pays to have a big truck because we were able to park near the entrance instead of the back 40. We arrived around noon and found our seats. Sadly they were in full sun and after about 20 minutes, I couldn’t take it…

We took off from Patterson this morning heading further south to Hollywood RV site. We’re actually in Van Nuys, not Hollywood. It’s an interesting place. We thought the worker was going to tow our RV to the site and I was prepared to video the whole thing, but alas he told Tom to do it.…

Today was a travel day. I’m not fond of travel days. They are sometimes long, can be hot, and boring. We are in Patterson, California tonight. We traveled 260 miles today. It was not a particularly long day, and we had 0 issues along the route. I spent most of my day either reading “A…

I love National Parks, all National Parks. In the US we have 63 National Parks, including more than 400 designated national sites. I’ve been to many, not all, and I’ll probably never make it to all of them. But that’s a bucket list item for me. Today we had a day without traveling, so we…
