We woke up this morning not quite sure in which direction to go next. We have four days before we travel to Hawaii, decisions, decisions.
Last night our generous camping neighbours had provided us with all their leftovers. They have finished their road trip and will be returning back to Ohio. It felt like food Christmas. No grocery shopping for a while, yippee.
Overnight they had also cleared out anything else they did not need, all left on their lonely picnic table. Pete’s eyes were popping, he was on the camping scavenger scab…
All pack up and departing the campsite by 8.15 am.
A short stop at Groveland for internet access, forward camp planning and some fun in the playground for the boys.
On the road again, out of the Stanislaus National Park and down the mountains onto California 120 West.
The countryside was full of dry cattle farms and at times, fruit trees.
Through the small towns of Oakdale and Escalon and past corn fields and vegetable farms.
Just before lunchtime, we reached our planned destination, French Camp RV Park. On arrival, the campsite did not have a great feel or outlook.
With a little more research and some new google directions we back on the road and to our new destination, River Point Landing Marina & Resort in Stockton. Apparently with one of the highest crime rates in the USA.
The location was very pretty on the lake and very hot. We spent the remainder of the afternoon inside the motor home, the boys on Minecraft, the adults on their computers.
By 5 pm we were all starting to get a bit peckish. Plus, we needed to get Noah a new pair of shoes after a croc was lost somewhere on today’s road trip.
An Uber down to the local Sherwood Mall, new shoes for both Noah and Wes and then a nice casual dinner at Romano’s Macaroni Grill Italian Restaurant.
Back in an Uber to our motorhome which was still there, with all four wheels. We might keep the doors locked extra tight tonight.
