Wednesday - Orange Grove RV
9:30am - Left Oasis RV in Las Vegas. With the generator still not working we anticipated a warm drive. The drive was hot but bearable.
2:30pm - Arrived at Orange Grove RV just east of Bakersfield. I love this park which is built in an orange grove with orange trees between each site. On check in they give a large sack of oranges. The aroma in the park is pleasant, relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable.
Thursday - Concord
8:30am - Today we are driving up through the central California Valley on Interstate 5 and this route is normally is hot. Hoping that we're early enough in the year to beat the heat.
Twenty miles down the road we stopped for fuel at the Barstow Flying J truck stop and used the RV pumps. Horizon took 47 gallons at 3.87 for a total of 181.78. The rest of the trip, while long and warm, didn't get excessively hot.
2:30pm - arrived at our home in Concord and pulled into the RV pad next to the house, connecting to 50amps, water, and sewer.

2013 Apr 22 - Las Vegas, NV
Oasis Las Vegas RV Resort
Monday
We left Hidden Oasis RV Park, around 9am heading to Las Vegas.
Made a fuel stop in Kingman, AZ at the Flying J Truck Stop using their RV fuel island. The Horizon took 49.6 gallons at 3.899 per gallon for a total of 193.31.
We arrived at Oasis Las Vegas RV Resort at 2:30pm.
I called a mobile repair service and set up an appointment for the tomorrow to change the fuel filter on the generator. I hoped the problem might be a clogged filter and that was causing it to stop running after a couple of minutes.
I called my daughter, Karie, and arranged for her to meet up with us.
Tuesday
Karie came by and we had a nice visit. We had lunch together in the Oasis Cafe located in the park. The lunches are simple salads and sandwiches, the ones we had were very good.
Well the mobile RV service came by this afternoon and replaced the fuel filter. It cost about 130.00. Unfortunately it didn't fix the generator. We'll have to plan our travel with the weather in mind.
Tomorrow we'll head for Bakersfield, CA and the Orange Grove RV Park. It's about a four hour drive so the earlier we leave in the morning the better.

2013 Mar 21 - Las Cruces, NM
Thursday
Today is a travel day as we leave Fort Davis and head to Amado, Arizona. We got underway at 9:30 and traveled up highway 90.
At about 1300 hrs we stopped for fuel at Love's Travel Stop in Anthony, TX. I pumped just over 50gal of diesel fuel at 4.029 a gallon for a total of 202.89.
At 1448 hrs we checked into Hacienda RV and Rally Resort, which is just off of I -10, at exit 140 in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The elevation is approximately 3900 feet. We have stayed at this park many times and have seen it devolve from a resort which provided pet treats and breakfast and other amenities to a run-of-the-mill RV park.
This is only a layover for the night. Tomorrow we are back on the road.
