It took a lot of packing (Jen) and planning (Stephen) but we are off on our second big family road trip. It was very hard to leave our home, pets, fruits trees, friends, and family for the entire summer. We will miss out on some of our favorite things being away this summer but we will have some amazing adventures and memories to last a lifetime. Now technically we are four days in so let’s catch you up.
We started our trip at Forbes campground at Sugar Pine Reservoir with friends, only an hour from home. Since the kids won’t be seeing their friends this summer it was great to start off with a weekend with them. This is one of our favorite day trips during the summer. Unfortunately with the current drought the reservoir is extremely low and muddier then usual. Even with low water levels a good time was still had by all. We brought our kayaks and paddle boards, sat around the campfire, enjoyed water ballon and watermelon eating contests, and the company of wonderful people. Jen’s mom and grandmother even joined the fun!
On our last night the RV cabin batteries died. After some trouble shooting we decided new batteries were needed. Stephen tried to get them that night but came back at midnight empty handed. Luckily the weather was nice and we turned the rv off till morning. We were able to acquire new batteries the next day. By the early afternoon we were on our way out of California and onto great adventures.
Our first stop was in the middle of Nevada in Winnemuca. This was just an overnight stop but the New Frontier RV Park was clean and friendly. We all got showers after our weekend of dry camping, did three loads of laundry, and enjoyed the first of many alfresco dinners this summer. In the morning we headed out on our way to Salt Lake City to visit family.
