<div style="text-align: center;">
My nephew and his wife worked at this same campground for 2 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were actually married there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two of my children and grandchildren, have camped at the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">River Rest Campground Resort, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and</i> say it's what you would picture heaven to be like. So I'm very excited to be moving there, and did I say it's right on the <b>Yuba river</b>?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are moving to the area, site unseen, with a leap of faith.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We will be storing the RV and moving into a cabin. Right on the river!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been work camping since 2008 and our poor RV needs some TLC. This year we had our refrigerator go out and it's been quite a challenge living without it. It's been a very busy year and a half of work not allowing energy or the time to make the repairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thankfully my daughter had brought up a small refrigerator for us to use. That on top of a few other things that need to be fixed a good deep cleaning will be a blessing after living in red clay dirt environment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are looking forward to being able to enjoy some of hobbies that make us happy, like fishing, river rafting (aka floating peacefully in the river.).<br />

It's with a sad heart once again that we are leaving Groveland and the campground that we called home for 4 1/2 years off and on, since we started out adventures on the road. We have made many friends and learned a lot.</div>

In October we went up to Groveland to help our friends at Yosemite Pines with their awesome Halloween Party. All the way up, we had that feeling of going home, even Shadow seemed to really understand where we were going and was getting happy.<br />
While there everyone kept telling us that we should come back. In our hearts we felt it too.. So.. Here it is.. We are going back HOME to our park family at....<br />

Let me tell you Oct to Dec 3rd seemed like it was so far away.. but here it is.. we are just days away from move day. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We were unexpectedly laid off in Sept.. Then we encountered some major issues with un-Employment. I also had some union issues which I needed to get taken care of before leaving this area. Now all seems to be in order.. and our future seems bright again. Everything seems to have a time and a place. Let me tell you a few months without an income if a bit tuff not to mention scary!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While here we have met some of the nicest people you could ever meet and hopefully we have made a few long lasting friendships as well... Thank you to all of you who have deeply touched our hearts and renewed our faith in mankind, people do still care.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well here we are on the Sacramento River Delta in Isleton Ca. I never thought that we would come to work on the Delta in the San Joaquin Valley. So much flat land, and if you know us you know that we love the mountain areas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The Delta is a very interesting area, There are miles and miles of waterways.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As a child I remember boating and water skiing with my family all over these channels and sloughs.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It is interesting how we came to be here, We signed up on KOA looking for KOA jobs when we came across this one. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We came down to check it out and visit. At first we turned this park down. Not because of the park, or the people but because of Hwy 12. It goes between Lodi and Rio Vista, the main shopping area is to go to Lodi by taking Hwy 12. It is a very busy 2 lane highway which people seem to drive very crazy on.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Then one day about a month later, we received several text like messages from the owner or this park who is also the owner of a major corporation that I had heard of before. We finally spoke by phone and she convinced us to give this park a try.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We have a great site very much park like by the creek. This is an older park and most of the guests who stay here are older or tourists. So it is very peaceful.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We get what is called a Delta breeze or wind every day in the evening. Which on HOT days makes the temperatures much nicer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A little history about the Delta Region:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There is a total area around 1,100 square miles (2,800 km<sup>2</sup>), around 70 reclaimed islands and tracts, surrounded by 1,100 miles (1,800 km) of levees surrounded by 700 miles (1,100 km) of waterways. The delta was originally marshland; reclamation was made by the building of levees, by Chinese laborers in the 1850s.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A typical levee was constructed as being approximately trapezoidal, 10 ft (3.0 m) above original ground level, and approximately 30 ft (9.1 m) wide at the base rock armored on the river side. The construction was a colossal engineering undertaking.</span><br />

Well shortly after arriving we experienced heavy rains then snow. It had been awhile since we have actually felt winter, so this was not a bad thing. It was such a blessing that we made it here between storms and before the big ones hit.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The newest additions to the park are a pair of crazy Turkeys. </span><br />
<br />
The male seems to think its fun to attack the wheels of cars and RVs in the park. Well I have come to the conclusion that this crazy birds days are numbered. It's funny to watch but saddens me to think that one day he will not win. Sure gets the campers all worried not knowing how to handle a Turkey attacking their vehicle. He is brave with the autos but timid around people.. I think the Hen realizes he is a bit on the crazy side since she seems to ignore his crazy ways and goes a different direction.</div>

We started work shortly after arriving which made us happy we were ready to get busy.</div>

My Niece and Nephew came and stay for a few days about a week or two after our arrival.. It was so wonderful to see them and spend time with them again. Their little Timothy is growing up so fast. This was Trina's first visit to Yosemite National park.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's so good to be HOME.</span><br />
For those who may not know this I am originally from Sonora which is about 45 minutes away from our campground. It's the main place to go for your shopping needs.<br />

On the down side.. shortly after arriving my Mother's health has started to fail. She was admitted to the hospital with her blood levels all at comatose levels. They gave her several transfusions and she was in the hospital for about a week. They have sent her home where my brother lives with her. We still do not know what the cause is. One theory is that her bone marrow is not producing the blood cells.. So it is good to be back closer to her and was good timing to get here.<br />

Well it is time to hit the road again. We ended up staying here in Ventura far longer than we had expected. It is a Beautiful area. There is so much to see and do. We are scheduled to leave here on March 15th, 2012.<br />

While here we visited Grant Park. In 1782 Father Junipero Serra founded the San Buenaventura Mission. Soon after, a large wooden cross was placed on a neighboring hillside as a guidepost for travelers. Over the years, the original cross and a series of replacements were lost to the elements, but locals never gave up. The current cross has stood atop its circular stone pedestal since 1941.<br />
The view from here is Amazing! <br />

While working here as the Events coordinator I had the pleasure of meeting and working with some living legends. Iron Butterfly AllStar Band. 3 of the members are from the original 'Iron Butterfly Band' from the 60's and 70's.<br />

We worked with some wonderful people and had a lot of fun. I do have to say that this has been the most continuously busy park that we have ever worked in. We had plans to see Robert's parents more often while here but with being so busy it was so much harder for us to accomplish this.<br />

We started out our travels at Yosemite Pines RV Park in Groveland CA and went out to spread our wings to gain more experience working in other types of campgrounds. What we found is that we really missed our home in the hills. So after being away for 2 years we are returning soon to Groveland and Yosemite Pines RV Resort.<br />

I looked up pizza on my Droid and found a highly rated Pizzaria.. called Tony's. It was NOT pizza hut but was like a real Hut.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> The pizza is different than what we were used to but it was really good and the ambiance of the place was like being in Hawaii. </div><div style="text-align: center;">BUT Wait....<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We were fortunate enough to actually meet the owner.. He is rarely seen and just happened to be doing an interview while we were standing by the fire waiting for our pizza. He stopped for awhile from his interview to greet us. I have to say he was a delight and added even more to the day. Tony is 86 years old and he opened his pizza hut in 1958.. why does that seem familiar to me??

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I really love my jobs here and the area, but I am so terribly afraid that we are going to wake up and find ourselves in yet another nightmare.. Lord please no.. I am not sure i can with stand another of those right now.<br />
<br />
We should be here until October 2011. We want to leave before winter sets in when they have flooding in this area.. Also Salt air is not good for autos or RV's.<br />
<br />
We will take this one step at a time and savor this area and the time we spend here. And the MOST IMPORTANT reason for being in this area is to be near Robert's parents.<br />
<br />
More pictures to come later.<br />

You just hook onto it and move it..<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">NOT!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Especially in our case. We live in our RV full time and it is part living and part storage, not to mention that:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"> We do not own a tow vehicle. What we have is Ol' Yeller.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht4D3aC0AUWAvnLReLr73n1v3oK79OPy5mu1rLYjMEFBiNaESAnXHVrDmRj1AHzhfYd8yNf_jqjQnW2vqw6SxNXCTLMTT7RLkxpLVEwWMcey9jZl_fCGujCei5XX6ngVLTdLJHpWuiTis/s1600/DSCN0807_edited-1+-+Copy+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht4D3aC0AUWAvnLReLr73n1v3oK79OPy5mu1rLYjMEFBiNaESAnXHVrDmRj1AHzhfYd8yNf_jqjQnW2vqw6SxNXCTLMTT7RLkxpLVEwWMcey9jZl_fCGujCei5XX6ngVLTdLJHpWuiTis/s320/DSCN0807_edited-1+-+Copy+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You would be amazed at how many people will say to us, either joking or other wise.... How do you tow your RV with the jeep?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSLRZKF0SalqVqYEwQ3umSRnlylGl2QqxR0Eot4BbLMx69cYJCVX-fRG2gxvsIpO7knETPwlFKuko9vntUCZxfRyv4VXJuLF-zAcw8Ar637bjBnXkTAVXAYzrFYx2iwHG3Q_gMnk9ljQE/s1600/Laughing_face.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSLRZKF0SalqVqYEwQ3umSRnlylGl2QqxR0Eot4BbLMx69cYJCVX-fRG2gxvsIpO7knETPwlFKuko9vntUCZxfRyv4VXJuLF-zAcw8Ar637bjBnXkTAVXAYzrFYx2iwHG3Q_gMnk9ljQE/s1600/Laughing_face.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well what we do may sound expensive.. but it is far from the fact. By utilizing a mover we are cutting out other monthly and bi yearly expenses. </div><ol><li>Auto Insurance</li>
<li>Extra DMV charges</li>
<li>Maintenance costs</li>
</ol>Not to mention the dreaded payment of another vehicle since our jeep is payed off.<br />
<br />
We would normally tend not to move but every couple of years.. unfortunately this year was a bit different and we did move more than we would have liked to have, but still we saved. <br />
<br />
As we prepare for this next move there is packing to be done, re-organizing of furniture and other items so that they do not move or break in transit. Cleaning and Shopping. It is all a part of the lifestyle.. even with all this..<br />
<br />
It's still far easier than moving from a stick and brick house to another.. since we do take our home with us where ever we go..<br />
<br />

Where is that? </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>That is the question i hear most often when i mention where we are.<br />
It is on Hwy 395 between Bishop and Ridgecrest. Still not sure.. ok well have you heard of Mono Lake? and Los Angeles? Ok well it is between those areas.. Maybe this map will help.<br />

</div>What is here?<br />
Oh my.... well, lets see, it is called:<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The Gateway to Adventure</i></span>.<br />
Well that is interesting since all i see is high desert!<br />
<br />
<b> OH but wait! There is always hidden treasures in the desert.</b><br />
<br />
There is Death Valley, Mt Whitney, The Alabama hills, Ghost Towns, Manzanar, and Movie road.. just to name a few..and then there is fishing, hiking, climbing, skiing, prospecting, rock hounding and more to be done around this area as well.<br />
<br />
Movie road?<br />
Well here in Lone Pine they have filled movies since back in the 1920's. Remember The Lone Ranger?<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> The new park is in the growth phase of re-opening after years of neglect from being closed. <br />
This is going to be a fun and challenging position. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I do have to say that I do enjoy being a campground Host and I am looking forward to it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But mostly, I am looking forward to being able to spend some time and helping Robert's parents..

Both of were volunteer positions. (Something I doubt we will ever do again.)<br />
Our thoughts were to be able to relax a bit and also do some needed housekeeping and repairs on the RV.. Well that never happened.<br />
<br />
One of the parks was in Colusa next to the Sacramento River, the other was at Indian Grinding Rock State Park in Pine Grove. Well both had their advantages and disadvantages.<br />
We choose Indian Grinding Rock, since we felt that it would not be as wet and cold as it would have been next to the river in Colusa.<br />
<br />
Years ago I had visited the park and even tho I had seen it nearly at a run as the person i was with was not interested in even being there..<br />
While there many years ago I had not seen the RV park at all, so I had no idea what to expect.<br />
We would recommend visiting this park and learning about the history of the Mikwok Indians. It is quite beautiful..<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: red; text-align: center;"><b>HOWEVER</b> <b>.. Be forewarned that this park is not for large RV's.</b> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It is an old park designed for very small RV's, or Tent trailers</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I recommend it for basic Tent camping. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The only hook up is for the Host site. </div><br />

It was a nightmare! We could not get stable. The front of the 5th wheel was so high that i could walk under it with about 12 more inches over my head before touching it.<br />
<br />
We were told by previous Work campers who hosted there that they had a 38' Motor Home (Class A) that they had been there for a year.<br />
Well they also said and we can believe this .. they were blocked up really high in the front w/ wood. All I can say is that they are some very brave or is it lucky souls not to have came down right out of that site. They also had to have been hanging well in to the road.<br />
<br />
Well all I can say is that we chose not to live like we were walking on egg shells, and after spending all kinds of money trying to make it work threw in the towel!<br />
I think it took all of 5 min to pick up the phone and call our mover to get us out after the decision was made to get out.<br />
<br />
The only thing that I wonder is, if we had made the Spirits mad at us by deciding to leave and not stick it out as we had quite a ruff winter.. with fix it issues, and expense wise.<br />
When we left Indian Grinding Rock, We went back to The Gold Country RV park where they welcomed us back with open arms. We had planned on staying with them for another 2 weeks, however that didn't happen as we received a call within a week to come work at Angels Camp RV Resort in Angels Camp California. More on that next blog post.<br />

Indian Grinding Rock State Park is an amazing place to visit and learn..<br />

There are so many things to do in this area.<br />
Visit Jackson, Sutter Creek, Volcano, Indian Grinding rock, Daffodil hill.. and so much more....<br />
The Roaring Camp Mining Company was located right across the street..<br />
Anyone for a little gold prospecting? Sadly we didn't get the opportunity to do that while there.<br />

Before heading to Torrance we stopped in Stockton to visit with my Mom, Brother and my beautiful nieces. <br />

We were quite surprised when we had received several offers within about a week.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The one which we were most interested in was from Mary at Yosemite Pines RV Resort. This was partly because I am originally from Sonora California which is a town not far from there. This would also place us near family and friends as well as put us in the heart of the Gold Country.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJDrnfpkuZmn1ezfI8rcpFA5H-N6bY0zBG5h35IH1UgiwclhMEelzGL2Zvt0tns1PdQCnadkIFtNVewBfxILMIffTljgGhXUk5FkLqTtkXoUgacWNl4cp6CXQnOWzHR5fFuer90CKg1LI/s1600/DSCN6497.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJDrnfpkuZmn1ezfI8rcpFA5H-N6bY0zBG5h35IH1UgiwclhMEelzGL2Zvt0tns1PdQCnadkIFtNVewBfxILMIffTljgGhXUk5FkLqTtkXoUgacWNl4cp6CXQnOWzHR5fFuer90CKg1LI/s320/DSCN6497.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Mary, who was the manager at that time for Yosemite Pines, had invited us over to the park for a visit and interview. Since we had driven so far they had put us up in one of the cabins for over night, and took us out to dinner at the Iron Door Saloon / Restaurant. We were quite impressed with the generosity of the management and with the campground itself. So nervously again, we accepted the position and we prepared for our arrival in April.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Our only request at that time was not to start on April 1st as we did not want this to be a big joke, but the dream job which we were hoping for. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> All was going well until the week before the planned move, when both Robert and I had came down with a very nasty flu bug, which put us both in bed and behind in preparing for the move.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Since we do not have a tow vehicle we had hired a mover from the internet, which did not work out well at all. They were given the exact day for the move yet a guy had called us a week before saying that he would be there the next day. Mind you this was while we were so sick in bed.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I reminded the mover of the arranged date and he had a bit of an attitude, basically saying it was then or never. Well needless to say we found another mover, one which we still use to this day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvYhV8BUWmI8IjfeT54AaWZAy0Pii-OAlmePq3q4fOXuORCAlaUf-QaqEK0vMvv9QFjWYk31N6DXbt8cvEN415s8go_lhTkd4MYVxyc8NLnAFhV7izKB-Oo-om6pYEvUozzuT3bH5fDM/s1600/DSCN6865.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="159" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvYhV8BUWmI8IjfeT54AaWZAy0Pii-OAlmePq3q4fOXuORCAlaUf-QaqEK0vMvv9QFjWYk31N6DXbt8cvEN415s8go_lhTkd4MYVxyc8NLnAFhV7izKB-Oo-om6pYEvUozzuT3bH5fDM/s320/DSCN6865.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Move day came and we made our way to Groveland CA. Yes up the notorious "Priest Grade".</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yosemite Pines is a terraced park, and our site was up on in the upper C level. A big beautiful end site. We very much enjoyed it. It was very peaceful up there and we frequently had deer walking by.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDxLhDHHOaGGv0PS4u5GSjET75Gjz4rKZ1maOSzpqVZqWRLuXdB9tpQgZfD2molgiD6LQEwX9pkvwC-v84qY5gHErXgmLhUw_hhLKs-t1rs5KG-haJ5FfH7r7m3Ksbfq9X3h0egY5ERbQ/s1600/DSCN8028_edited-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDxLhDHHOaGGv0PS4u5GSjET75Gjz4rKZ1maOSzpqVZqWRLuXdB9tpQgZfD2molgiD6LQEwX9pkvwC-v84qY5gHErXgmLhUw_hhLKs-t1rs5KG-haJ5FfH7r7m3Ksbfq9X3h0egY5ERbQ/s320/DSCN8028_edited-1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> We learned a lot from our 2 years at Yosemite Pines, and hold fond memories of our time spent there and the people which we have met during that time. Since this park is just outside of Yosemite National Park we would get groups of travelers from all over the world. France, Netherlands, Germany, England just to name a few. It was very busy, but work was fun.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Most were very nice fun people.. Others well, were interesting to say the least. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> <b>About the park:</b> It is a large park with over 181 sites, which consist of tent sites, RV sites, Yurts, and Cabins of various sizes. They have a large pool, recreation room, laundry, petting zoo, store, children's play ground, 2 mile walking trail, a gold mine and a gold panning station, all this is nestled in the Gold Country filled with much beauty and history. And lets not forget that it is just outside of one of our most beautiful National Parks, </div><div style="text-align: center;">Yosemite.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi92hGqrs0GiGYH6bt7qxheX5uzhiPYUagmVTmPYzUSvCFItIH-rhzZaInBfwBKvbFKFg0hlp8cF5ZMpbesSfGyBIlUt0R1UxiKe4_eNOMqky1qmEElAqxsgrEnpEtUUrLL78I1c_Epa1w/s1600/l_dc24b28d149e0db0542393da26cd8688.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi92hGqrs0GiGYH6bt7qxheX5uzhiPYUagmVTmPYzUSvCFItIH-rhzZaInBfwBKvbFKFg0hlp8cF5ZMpbesSfGyBIlUt0R1UxiKe4_eNOMqky1qmEElAqxsgrEnpEtUUrLL78I1c_Epa1w/s320/l_dc24b28d149e0db0542393da26cd8688.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
