It was a driving twenty-four hours yesterday. There isn't a lot to tell near it. This fundamental part of California is a lot of almond trees as well as broad opened upward spaces, amongst scarcely a barn to present for it. Barns are exclusively necessary when animals are present, as well as this part of the terra firma is devoted to farming. When nosotros stopped for lunch, I noticed the snow-capped ridge of the Sierra Nevada mount make had come upward into view. You tin ship away come across it running through the middle of the ikon below.
We drove through a department of the metropolis of Bakersfield as well as stopped at a grocery store to pick upward a few things. We convey enough of food, but nosotros were running depression on eggs, sandwich bread, as well as kitty treats. Of course, the kitty treats were the most vital matter on the shopping list. We had exclusively a few miles to larn 1 time nosotros passed through Bakersfield, as well as the landscape changed noticeably.
We're staying at a county campground inward Kern County. What a lovely spot. We had no thought what nosotros would honour here. It was inexpensive as well as nosotros planned to remain only 1 night, then it was worth a try. There are no hook-ups here, but a reasonable jail cellular telephone indicate as well as spacious sites. Also...it's rattling quiet...always desirable. Our shadow selves were itching to function out for a walk 1 time nosotros were laid up.
The Kern River runs along the northward side of the campground, as well as it's rattling pretty there. I tin ship away imagine this is a wonderful house to come upward for a hot summertime camping ground trip.
Here are all the ways nosotros could convey died yesterday. We each looked at the slow-moving river, as well as had our doubts near this. Nevertheless, I tin ship away imagine if the river is swollen amongst rain, it could last treacherous.
With this beingness such a dainty spot, we're thinking nosotros mightiness remain a few to a greater extent than days. We'd similar to larn Smitty out for a walk. I mean value he'd similar to go, but he needs fourth dimension to gain familiarity amongst the hazards (or lack of hazards) of a house earlier he's willing to don his leash as well as harness.
I'm keeping today's postal service brusk since we're running on generator power. We'll require to banking concern jibe inward 1 time to a greater extent than at the kiosk to come across if nosotros tin ship away remain a pair to a greater extent than nights. I'll tell to a greater extent than tomorrow. As it stands, we're even then considering our options for seeing the Trona Pinnacles. The movement out to them is v miles on a dirt road, as well as that is sometimes non a adept thought when towing an RV. Yelp reviewers tell it's nifty if nosotros function on our speed down. Also, nosotros may receive upward one's hear to army camp out there. It is ever gratis to army camp on BLM land, as well as we're told at that topographic point is a adept house to ready for a black or two.
