Trona Pinnacles in California

We visited the Trona Pinnacles (35.6159391,-117.3824838) in early December during our stay at the Keyesville BLM campground. The Trona Pinnacles are on BLM land and camping is allowed. The Wikipedia page has quite a bit of information about this piece of art that nature has given us. The road from highway CA-178 to the ...

Keyesville BLM near Lake Isabella, California

We spent a couple of days at the Keysville BLM near Lake Isabella (35.634299, -118.492629) in California, towards the end of November, before heading to Nevada. We disconnected our Jeep from Explorker2, our motorcoach when we arrive to do some recon work. After our adventurous drive to and from the Redinger Lake BLM site, ...

Lake Isabella RV Park

We left the Keyesville BLM site one day before we had planned to, after our late-night encounter with a gentlemen that was displeased with our disinterest in opening our coach door for him late into the evening. We decided to stop at the Lake Isabella RV Park to fill up on water and dump ...

Redinger Primitive Campground, California

The Redinger Primitive Campground (37°08'45.8"N, 119°27'01.0"W) is a BLM site, and there are no fees to stay here. There are no power, water, or sewer hook-ups. We stayed here toward the end of November and the weather was amazing. This campground is a great spot if you want a place to disconnect, but it ...

Bakersfield River Run RV Park

After a few days of dry-camping at the Redinger Lake, we chose to continue our trek south. We made the Bakersfield River Run RV Park our next stop, staying here for 2 days to stock up on supplies, dump our tanks, and fill-up on water. The park is conveniently located right off highway 99, ...

Cal Expo RV Park

We are always changing our travel plan. Always. And hey, we can! We decided to add Sacramento as a stop on our way down south. The reason for the stop was two-fold - we needed to stock up on groceries and Leanne was invited to collaborate with another blog, film video and record a ...

RV Park At Rolling Hills Casino

We were headed on our way to a BLM just outside of the city when we saw the large advertisements for the RV park at Rolling Hills Casino. It'd been a long day, and we were excited at the prospect of hookups for the evening, that we decided to stay for a night. The ...

Devitt Winery

Staying at Devitt Winery in Jacksonville, Oregon was a really nice escape. The winery is nestled in a little calm valley with greenery all around. We rarely drink wine or any other type of alcohol, but thanks to the Harvest Hosts program, we are starting to like wine tasting. When we attended our first ...

Netarts Bay Garden RV Resorts

We arrived at Netarts Bay Garden RV Resorts in the evening. The main entrances into the main park are pretty narrow, so it took some maneuvering to get Explorker2 in front of the office. The after-hours bulletin board had an envelope with our spot number and some instructions - other than the much-needed WiFi ...

Paradisos del Sol Winery

We spent the night at Paradisos del Sol Winery in Washington on our way to Netarts in Oregon - and it was a much-welcomed change of scenery after being cooped up in Kelowna for just under a month. We were greeted by chickens, horses, sheep, a hog, and a dog. Coconut met horse for ...
