THE WINNEBAGO RIALTA AT FOSSIL FALLS
This is the last day of the TRIAL RUN; the next day we headed home to put our affairs in order and prepare for the real TRIP, which begins on Sunday, April 29th. We will give details etc. in the first Blog to be published whenever we find an Internet connection.
On the 13th , we headed up over Walker Pass, SR178, thru the beautiful valley of Lake Isabelle to camp along the Kern River at Sandy CG. In spite of the dry year there were some nice flowers, including the Goldfields and Evening Primrose shown above and along the Kern River shown below.
A few details. First, this blog exists because of the thoughtfulness of Jean's sister, Marian and her husband, David Cortesi. They got the inspiration, set it up, and taught us how to use it. Second, the Dream Machine, DM, our home away from home, is a 20' long, self-contained, RV built by Winnebago on a Volkswaggon chasis with a 5 cylinder Audi engine. We cruise nicely at 60-65 mph getting about 16 m/g. (If we push it up to 65-70 mph, mileage drops to 15.) How do we get along in this small space of about 15' by 7', you ask? The answer is really quite simple: the Dream Machine is like Dr Who's Tardis—it is much larger on the inside than on the outside! It has many rooms—bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, office, etc., etc. It must also be noted that after more than 60 years together, we are somewhat compatible. More details will follow in the ensuing months.
