Short drive today - only 150 miles. However it started to rain about 30 miles from our destination, Bakersfield RV Resort. The showers eased off long enough for us to set up. We then had lunch in the resort restaurant. Very good.

There were many miles of orchards on the route today. We passed peach, nectarine and plum trees. Also many vineyards. The central valley contains the raisin capital of the world.

I kept seeing oranges along the sides of the road. Couldn't figure out where they were coming from. Then this semi entered the highway. It was full of oranges. I guess they bounce out of the open top from time to time.
After lunch Wayne and I walked down the street to Camping World. We spent a pleasant hour or two browsing the aisles. Of course we bought some stuff too. A couple of books, some replacement light bulbs and gadgets.
Our change in plans yesterday to stop here today was a good decision. Interstate highway 5 was closed about 25 miles south of here due to snow. The area affected is called the grapevine. We don't need to travel through this particular pass but we do need to go through the Tehachapi Pass on Highway 58. It also got a fair bit of snow today but stayed open. We don't want to travel when it is snowing. Too dangerous. All the mess should be gone by tomorrow and sunshine will rule again.
