21 March 2010
After our breakfast we started for home after saying our good-byes to RVFers and dogs. We took Hwys 99 and 5. It was a slightly long, but nice, drive stopping for lunch near Bakersfield. We quickly unpacked the perishables and went to Mass in the evening. This was a memorable rally with 19 rigs.
Until next time!
Castle Air Museum
20 March 2010
The Castle Air Museum has a fine collection of historic World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam Conflict aircraft. At the present time the Museum has restored and maintains our entire complement of aircraft. Many of our members had served in these wars and had a lot of experience with these planes.
In the afternoon we played Bean Bag Baseball. This was good for a lot of laughs and fellowship!
We enjoyed a good pot luck supper in the evening. We put our heads together to make plans for future rallies. This had been a fun and educational rally with beautiful weather.

Mariposa Tour
19 March 2910
After a breakfast of local oranges and breads and coffee cakes made by our wagon masters we carpooled to the old mining town of Mariposa. Others chose the Wine Tour. The Mariposa Museum and History Center is an indoor historical museum and display of a one-room miner's cabin, outdoor mining equipment and Indian Village.
We visited the old Mariposa County Courthouse which was formed in September 1850, even before California became the 31st State of the Union. The Court has conducted normal proceedings continuously in this courthouse ever since, the longest active period for any courthouse west of the Rocky Mountains.
As there was still some time we went to the California State Mining and Mineral Museum. They had a lot of mining history and exceptional specimens of minerals and gems from around the world. The geological forms and colors were spectacular!
After Happy Hour we had dinner at the Putter's Restaurant at the golf course next to the RV Resort. This was followed by cookies and coffee back at the RV Park Clubhouse.

Morgan Hill to Chowchilla
18 March 2010
It was a beautiful, peaceful drive along CA Hwy 152 with green hills, blue lakes, colorful wildflowers, and blue skys. We arrived at The Lakes RV Resort where we met up with a lot of old friends from the Rotary RV Fellowship. We attended the Chowchilla Rotary Club dinner meeting at Farnesi's Steakhouse. They celebrated St. Patrick's Day with corned beef and cabbage and they gave each of us a bottle of local wine. We enjoyed talking with the Chowchilla Rotarians. This is predominately an agricultural community.

Home to Oceano
15 March 2010
We left home this morning for a Rotary RVF Rally in Chowchilla, CA. We drove to Beulton, North of Santa Barbara. We had lunch at Pea Soup Anderson's. Then we stopped by Flying Flags RV Resort to get information for a possible rally in this area. They were very friendly and gave us a lot of info. about things to do. But they are a bit expensive. It was a warm sunny day, the ocean and sea coast were beautiful, and the wild flowers and Spring green hills were lovely. We had dinner at the Hitching Post in Casmalia, then spent the night at Pacific Dunes RV Resort in Oceana.

Oceano to Morgan Hill
16-17 March 2010
We continued up Hwy 1 to the Thousand Trails Preserve at Morgan Hill to spend two nights. We got more info for a future rally in Oceana and Pismo Beach. We stopped for lunch at Margie's in San Luis Obispo. where they fed us a lot! It was another warm, sunny day.Morgan Hill was pretty with a lot of water in the Uvas Creek. This is a good place for taking walks. We spent a lazy day doing needlework, making a model plane, walking and taking pictures. Arden enjoyed the walks and meeting with other dogs. The trees are leafing out and everything is a pretty green.
