On Tuesday, Karla and I traveled across the Mojave Desert to Barstow, CA. It was 150 or so miles of brown-out (sand storm) conditions....little to no visibility. After many hours of slow navigation, we arrived at our destination in Barstow, CA. where we relaxed and refreshed RVMakes3. While in Barstow, we walked to a nearby Ghost Town in Calico, CA. A mining town (silver) in the late 1800s that is no longer (pic below).
Thursday we headed west to Fillmore, CA where we boon-docked at Giessinger Winery (Harvest Host). The winery is very active with other "Harvest Hosters" and live entertainment each day. Fillmore is a small city in Ventura county California famous for its' many orange groves. The historic downtown, established when the Southern Pacific built the railroad through the valley in 1887, is quaint with an assortment of restaurants, pubs, and variety stores. Karla and I enjoyed our time walking and biking the various paved paths throughout the town, and dining in the fun restaurants and pubs.
Tomorrow we travel towards Ventura, CA where we plan to stay several days on the beach, specifically Carpinteria State Beach . Karla is doing well and enjoying the weather and activity. I am so thankful for that. I hope this blog post finds you well. We look forward to seeing each and everyone of you soon. And as always, (we are) coming to a driveway near you. Take care!
