Extendedstay California Avenue Bakersfield

... Tree hat einen Durchmess** von 12m, da könnte man fast drinnen wohnen.<br><br>Nachdem wir den Riesenbaum hint** uns gelassen hatten, sind wir auf uns**em weit**en Weg am Morro Rock Aussichtpunkt vorbei gekommen. Das ist glaube ich ein** d** höchsten Punkte in d** S**ria Nevada. Wir haben den steilen, zum Teil echt beängstigenden hohen Aufstieg natürlich in Kauf genommen (ich in meinen neuen Sandalen-das war heute ein Griff daneben) und die Aussicht, die ...

Today we drove into Sacramento so that I could see the capitol. It was even prettier than I expected it to be--not as impressive as Denver's, but more old-world like Montgomery. On our way out of town we saw an old steam engine train crossing the main street. It looked as if it carried tourists--I managed to get a photo. We ...

How quickly things change without even leaving yet. Due to the heat, we decided to split the original first day's trip into two. First night we are staying at http://www.oasislasvegasrvresort.com Yes, I know it's roughing it (they only have 20 cable channels), but it beats driving ten hours on the first day. <br><br>We have been planning our "epic" trip across the West for some time ...

After driving all morning we arrived back home this afternoon. Got to talk to the neighbors about the local happenings. The lawn is looking sad, overgrown and brown, I'm sure our local watchdog is not very happy with us. Oh well I clean up next week. For now I&#8217;ve got to finish up the work I brought home and we leave for Santa Barbara tomorrow for a couple of days.

... then drive to near Nate's to pick up the visa apps from his tour group. I would drive to the city near his place as he had worked all night. Then we would get to the Chinese Embassy and turn all of the visa applications. Great Plan. 1st as I was almost at my mom's, 1-1/2 hours away, I realized that I forgot my passport at home. UGH. I picked up my mom and drove back to my house, the opposite direction ...

... and listening to radio we decided to go to motel given the winds were going to be very strong and there was potential of snow at certain heights...both for which we are not prepared. - we drove onto Bakersfield which was the closest larger town (72 miles) and thought as usual that there would be no problem to get a room with our vouchers given it is in ...

... had four (yes four) very large flat screen TVs in the shop and all of them had the football on - kick off was in five minutes. We had about 2 hours to drive. And it was dark already. It had been and still would be a long day. The drive was uneventful. It was all about the destination and when you can't see anything but the road there are very few stories to tell. We arrived at the hotel at 7.30pm. Dad was very surprised to see us. He had only arrived ...

... the board........150! ansel and i both won jump! he subsequently talked me into going to nationals, although finding out i could ski overall in california sealed the deal. since i finished top 5 overall and have masters in everything, i get to compete for overall at nationals...hell ya! leah, ansel, and i are packing up my saturn and heading west tomorrow night. new brakes, oil change, recharged AC, and a couple pairs of jumpers strapped to the roof...and off we go!

... not the east like home and that we were going down the Santa Monica fwy the wrong way!! Luckily my co pilot Richelle got us back in the right direction... avoiding the ghetto's but only just (ha ha). Ever since Dad (Jeff) went to the States he has raved about the Back to the Future Ride. So on Arrival at Universal it was one of the first stops. Ok Dad you were right, it was great fun. Apart from that other rides that we enjoyed were the Mummy ...

... country folk in a frightening combination of camouflage jackets, hats, ginger beards and guns living in places with names such as Whispering Forest. It was, however, relieving to find some slack in the 'social laws'. People behaved normally, lighting cigarettes and not pretending that they were counting the 'carbs' in everything they ate. Local TV was excellent, with fiddle bands in local bars providing the movie advert break entertainment. Deciding we needed another ...
