We had a fairly long, winding, slow travel day. The landscape really changed from steep
mountains covered with pines, to less steep mountains, covered with more
deciduous and scrub trees, with no underbrush other than the golden
grasses. We did start to see more cattle
ranches and some vineyards. We are
definitely out in the middle of NOWHERE.
Even the towns are small. We
arrived at the campgrounds, which are fairly extensive, only to discover that
there is no electric, sewer, or water here either. We had been told by the Thousand Trails main
offices that the electric would be turned back on today.
After setting up
our camp (much easier to do with hooking up anything), we found out that they
now do have water and sewer, but still no electric. That actually works OK for us. Our black and grey water tanks were the
problem, as they were both 2/3’s full when we left the last campground. We can always run the generator for our
electric needs.
We drove the 5
miles over to the National Park entrance, and got a map. We drove a few miles in, but decided we have
had enough of the climbing, twisty, curvy roads for today. So we came back to the camp and hooked up the
water and sewer.
We sat out on our
camp chairs (even though it was a little chilly), had a beer, and read for a
while.
Dinner, then a relaxing evening off the grid. No cell phones, no internet. Maybe we’ll even play a few games.
