We are at Folsom Lake now in site #64. Wednesday night we stayed at "Win River" Casino in Redding. A nice place to boon dock. They park you and the security guard registers your rig and patrols the grounds so you feel totally safe here. We got set up and went to dinner in the casino. Great food and very reasonable. We will be back.
After dinner,(and donating to the slots!) we headed back to the RV. As I opened the door Jeni noticed that the rear outside tire was flat. I called our emergency road service and had them come out the next morning. They were here at 8am sharp and had the tire off in no time.The tire guy noticed that the tire had a "gouged" hole in it so he couldn't fix it. it was ruined,luckily when I bought new tires in 08 I kept one of the old ones just in case. He put that baby on and we were on our way by 9;30am. I must have ran over a piece of metal or something but we are very lucky to have made it to the casino. Who knows where the tire went flat. good thing it was on the back where we have dual tires.
Friday afternoon we got in to" Camping World" in Rocklin where we will have them put new shocks on the RV. We got set up and went to dinner and a movie. (Date Nite) Dinner was at the "Islands" a tropical bar and grill sort of place. We have eaten at one before and they have these "killer" tacos called "Baja tacos". I had the tacos and their "tortilla soup. Jeni had the "Island wrap" with fries. It was all good except Jeni's fries...Bad!
After dinner we went to the movies and saw "The American" with George Clooney. I think ole George was going for the old Sean Connery 007 look....Bad Choice! We almost left early but we stayed to see if it could get any worse....it did!
We got back to Campworld and settled in for the night.....or so I thought. At midnight the "Islands curse" hit me at both ends! I was up the rest of the night.They must of gave us water from Mexico or that wasn't chicken in my tacos! Jeni ate one of those tacos and she was fine. Maybe it was the soup who knows, but I'm sure I'm 10 pounds lighter!
By Friday afternoon I was feeling better so we went over to our Daughter's house for dinner.Saturday night we babysat DJ to give our daughter and her husband their "date nite." I hope they have better luck than we did on ours.
Today we are resting up from our travels and DJ. Per our plans,we were going to leave for Park Sierra tomorrow but, our plans are set in Jello! I need to get a new tire for the RV and Camping World doesn't carry Michelin's any more so I got hold of Les Swabb, down the street from the park, and they will have one for me Wednesday morning. At a great price too! We will get the tire on Wed. and head to Park Sierra.
We have firmed up our plans for next spring. We spoke with the ranger here and we will be back Camphosting next April-June here at Folsom Lake. We like it here and it is close to our Daughters and their families. Then we are booked July-August back at Deschutes State park in Oregon. That is the best place we have hosted at so far. But as we have said before nothing is "set in stone",just "JELLO".
