It is hot here in Riverside and I guess all over the west.I'm glad we have two air conditioners on the coach.While it was still cool this morning We headed over to our favorite park" Rancho Jurupa" County park in Riverside.We camp here when we are only in town for a week or two.$18 a night elec&water.It has a nice fishing lake and lots of grass.They are expanding the park right now with a water slide,miniature golf,and 40 more campsites.We checked on the progress of the expansion and took a little hike.We would be staying here right now but you can only stay 14 days in a 30 day period.We checked out Crestmore manor, next to the park, which is now the district offices of Riverside County Parks and Recreation.We couldn't go inside but we did take a pic. of the outside.It looks like one of those southern antebellum mansions.Even the old carriage house on the property was being used as their maint.yard.
As we headed out we saw a cool dog park with lots of stuff for dogs to do.We took a picture of the entrance and the sign
.The sign is hard to read but it says"Carlson bark park.Well we have decided to move down to our soon to be home base,Park Sierra in Coursegold Ca.the 3rd of August.That way we can visit Sacramento a little easier.I also got a notice for jury duty on the 17th of Aug.so I better be there.We will be half way between Sacramento and Riverside so we can be available to our families.The park is just north of Fresno in the foothills about 30 miles from the south entrance to Yosemite National Park.
Tomorrow my brother Larry is coming in to Riverside for a visit.I spoke about Larry in our past blogs.We are all going to a baseball
game tomorrow night.My other brother Gary,his wife Martha,my Grandaughter Alyx will be coming in from San Diego to meet us there and Dan our son will be driving us.We will take Alyx back with us after the game as she will stay with us for a week. There won't be any rest for Jeni and I as Alyx will keep us busy.We have some stuff planned already but we are going to need more!
Our tow car the Suzuki Vitara is got 108,000 miles on it right now,and we like not having a car payment but,It is starting to need minor repairs.The air conditioning is going out,we just put brakes and tires on her and I know the "Biggie"is coming on the engine some day.but I like not having a payment!Sometimes I wonder,am I throwing money at a clunker?how many miles will the ole car go before major problems arise?The stock market is pinching our finances and I like not having a car payment!I wish I could predict the future?Decisions Decisions!
