Feb 2, 2014 Kern County Campground

We skirted around LA to spend a night at a campground we had visited twice last year—Kern River County Park.

Feb 1. 2014 University of California, Berkeley

 

Our first destination was University of California, Berkeley where our niece, Mira, is a freshman. (Lower left of image, next to Ann). Mira took us on a tour of the campus which included climbing the hills overlooking UCB and the town of Berkeley. San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge could be seen in the distance.

It has taken more than a week on the road to post my first blog entry. Only now does it feel like our camping trip is underway. We have spent many boring hours of driving through bleak and gray landscapes, punctuated by tense moments in heavy rain towing our trailer alongside semi-trucks.
