May 16th - There's Gold In Them Thar Hills!

While we have been cleaning the trailer we have been chatting to a couple of our neighbours. The RV across the way, with some really nice people, is owned by real Gold Prospectors. Johnny and Lisa spend their summer months panning for gold, and they really do find it! They showed us some of the results of their labours. We had a very pleasant time talking about how to pan for gold and where some good places are, so next year when we come back we might have a go and see if we can pan some for ourselves.

May 15th - Packing Up

View Spring 2013 Part 4 in a larger mapAll too soon we are once again cleaning and packing away the rig. The weather here is still glorius, though it hit the mid nineties yesterday. Last night we went with Ed and Cindy to the local casino for their buffet (senior discount - half price), which mean't we had to join the casino, which mean't that they gave us a $10 seed money, which mean't we had to get rid of it in a fruit machine on the way out, which mean't that Sally walked out with $50 and I walked out with $7, still I suppose you win some and then you ..... win some more!
Today we move our rig onto Ed and Cindy's property, which is a lovely country house with a large field. There are all sorts of birds flying around and it is very peaceful. they raise Barbary Sheep, which are great fun to watch at feeding time.

May 24th - Corning

We moved on from Chico Fairground to our final destination, for this trip, of Corning, which is a small town which straddles Interstate 5. We are currently parked in a pleasant RV Park called Heritage RV, which is blessed with a small pool and trees. The temperature is continuing to climb into the mid nineties.
