25 Feb - Chowchilla, California

Agriculture is the name of the game today.  More specifically, trees.  We travelled through the central valley which is mainly farm land.  Miles and miles of almond and olive groves.  We did pass through Sacramento (think it is the state capitol)  Traffic was quite light this morning building a bit in the afternoon.

In addition to the trees, we also saw lots of wild life.  There were lots of hawks, and several white storks.  I couldn't get a photo.  There was even a rabbit hopping along in the ditch.  Man, it was going fast.

We are set up at The Lakes RV and Golf Resort.  It is a very beautiful park with iron gates that open by remote control.  The park has a pond with fountain, heated outdoor pool and hot tub, and club house.  Golf  fees are included in your site fees.  Great except we don't golf.  We stayed here last year on the way home.  It was full in late March but this year not so full.  We are here a month earlier this year.  Being ready for a break from the road, we've booked to stay 2 nights.  It's a little cool but I might try the hot tub tomorrow.
