Coalinga, California

We travelled from Sacramento to Coalinga today.  This RV park backs onto miles of almond and pistachio orchards where we are allowed to take the dogs for exercise.  Very cool!  This park is situated just off the I-5 and is surrounded by miles of farmland.  There is a large orange grove across the street, too, with the trees full of oranges.  We are spending two nights here and then staying in Bakersfield in a park that is situated right IN an orange grove, and we can pick as many oranges as we want, so we'll be stocking up, needless to say...

Pistachio Nuts on Trees

 We are planning on spending a week through Christmas in the Palm Springs area, then heading over into Arizona and New Mexico.  The temperatures have been really comfortable, with daytime around 16 and nights around 45 to 50 degrees.
