 I bought my new truck and used camper in late October of 2005.  The following May, I "hit the road" full-time for 6 months.  I've rambled every year since, and now 2026 will be my 21st year of ramblin'!  My how time flies.  Not all of my nights are spent camping, but most are.  I don't make entries when I stay with my kids or friends.  Campsite fees are for one night with no discount (and no hookups, unless specified). However, being the old geezer that I am, I get 50% off at U.S. Guvmint CGs with the valuable Golden Age card, plus free entry to National Parks. One of the few ways (in addition to retirement) it pays to get older.  All the aches and pains sure aren't fun. :)

I started my travels this year with about 151K miles on my camper and 229K miles on my truck.  As I get older. I'm not ramblin' as much in months or mileage, but I'm still doing it!! :)

On The Way Here

 

 Part of a large county park.  Almost 100 sites, close together, on level land.  In 3 concentric loops.  A mix of paved and grass sites.  Most sites have water & electric (25 have sewer, also). Many sites have significant shade, due to large leafy trees. About 1/2 mile away from busy US101, but noise level low.  Flush toilets, showers & laundry. Agriculture museum in the park, along with much old farm equipment spread around the grounds. $50 (water+elec. No sewer.)

6th time here. Less than 10 other sites occupied.

My 11th time at this great mid-sized bluegrass festival.  Try it, you'll like it.  Out in peaceful ranching land.  Weather was beautiful, but on the warm side for me. Lots of good music by national, regional and local acts.  My daughter joined me for the festival, which made it even more enjoyable.

My favorite band was The Kings River Boys. Real Bluegrass!!

 A DEER HIT ME!!

 Made a trip to Napa and back to visit my 2 kids. Camped at my ususal Gilroy and King City CGs on the way up. On the way back a deer came out of the woods and collided with the side of my truck and the camper. The picture shows the result. I’m just glad it didn’t hit the front of the truck and maybe come through the windshield!!
