As most of you know, our son Justin was selected last year as a General Wayne Downing Scholar.  Today we are very happy to tell you that Justin was accepted by Yale University to complete his education for his Masters Degree.  We are very proud of Justin.

We have been staying busy since I last wrote.

On the 19th we welcomed our friends Ed and Cindy Kopic, who we volunteered with this winter in Surprise, AZ.  It was nice to see them again and we hope to meet up again in the near future.

Yesterday we hooked up out tow car and headed north to the Indio Elks Lodge in Indio, CA.  The lodge has about fifty parking sites with 30 amp electric and water.  The parking is a tad tight but for $22 a night, we’ll take it.

While in Indio, we took a drive up into the mountains to Idyllwild, CA.  We had a nice lunch at The Mile High Restaurant and then explored the town for an hour or so.

Saw these guys in a gallery.  Beautiful!

On the 28th, we made the run up to the Famcamp at Edwards AFB but there was no parking available when we arrived. 

If ever a military campground has hit the bottom of the sewer, this one is it.  First, there are several long-time “residents” staying there.  I counted 11 rigs that appeared to have been there for some time and I spoke to a gentleman who said most of them are DOD contractors who are working on Edwards.  I can’t verify that but I can say that there is junk laying all around and under several of those RV’s.  Secondly, the circle in the center of the park has weeds grown up to at least two feet high.  At one time the area was kept neat and clean but not anymore.

We were able to snag a parking site at the Sierra Trails RV Park in Mojave, CA, a Passport America park.  It wasn’t very fancy but at $13.25 a night, what the heck.

We’re now in Fresno, CA at the Blackstone North RV Park to visit my mother and brother.  We’ll be here for a week and then head up to Calistoga, CA.
