We've had a great visit with Wayne and Debbie Naves while here in Bakersfield plus we got our a dog fix with Roxie. If you've read all the blogs, you may recall that Wayne is the owner of the NuWa Owner's forum that I rely on for a significant amount of my RV info. We first met Wayne and Debbie while at West Yellowstone in June 2009. Wayne was part of the group instrumental in setting up that RV get-together. Wayne is also a civil servant for the Navy and supports the navy reserves. He's my kinda guy with those kind of credentials! They both work full time & took a weekend out of their very busy schedule to meet us here in Bakersfield. Otherwise, Bakersfield is just a stop on the way to the SKP park in Coarsegold, CA. A pretty darn nice stop, too. We're in the Bakersfield RV Resort and it's a class place to put the RV. You can read more about the park at http://bakersfieldrvresort.com.
Bakersfield, apparently, has grown significantly since Donna's mother lived in this area. I'm told that oil and agriculture drive the economy in this area. All I know is that we're within walking distance of a Camping World...and the charges on the credit card have jumped, accordingly. Temps here are in the mid to high 90s during the day and high 60s for the lows at night. If you can find shade, it's actually comfortable enough to sit outside. No rain, of course.
If all goes well, we move on to Coarsegold in the morning. We're there for about four weeks before visiting with some of Donna's relatives in Napa Valley in late July. We're excited about Coarsegold since it's about a two hour drive to Yosemite Valley from the RV park. May not be all that excited after we get there, but for now it's Yosemite as far as we're concerned! Later, David
