California - Road Trip # 42 begins

Stopped at Redlands RV Services to have our generator serviced.  Normally we had it serviced close to home, but the shop closed down due to health reasons.  They paved the campground since we were here in  March. Very nice improvement.

Breakfast at Carolyn's

Meeting Matt the Mechanic in Big Bear for a shake down run on the Jeep

Everything worked great!

If you notice it's only Matt on the wench


Orange Grove RV Park in Bakersfield
Don't believe the sign.  We are in space #154

Had to find an REI in Fresno for a replacement hat.  Dave was certain he must have lost his Motorhome Jeeping hat.  Well guess what?  He now has two of them.

Met up with cousins Roger and Abbey for dinner in Lodi.

Visited with Paul & Julie in Auburn

We were able to park in the large cul de sac below their house. After our three point turn.

It was a little warm while we were there.

Visited Moonraker Brewery 


These are always fun

Chico

The restaurant at Sierra Nevada always serves up great food.  Dave likes the beer too.

Checking out the Farmers Market


Visited the YoYo Museum with the World's largest wood YoYo, weighing in at 256 pounds. 
The museum is located inside a toy store.  Every Saturday they have free YoYo lessions.

Visited with Dave and Cynthia in their new home in Paradise.  They lost their previous home to the fire that took out the whole town of Paradise.
