Days 141 & 142- Monday & Tuesday - A short journey to a tranquil lake




We leave the gold discovery area, retracing the journey we made from Sacramento in the car yesterday and, after stopping to see why someone pointed at our RV while driving by, only to discover that the door to the rear cargo bay is open!  Fortunately nothing has fallen out and I'm able to close and lock it, and soon we're heading west on US50 again.

This time we get on I-5 north, going right through the center of Sacramento, where the traffic is surprisingly light in the middle of the day.  Once north of the city we take off on CA99 heading for our next RV resort - Lake Minden - for a 3 night stay.  People we met at Ponderosa told us to avoid this place, but it's on our route so we ignore the advice and we're glad we did.

We were traveling through fertile fruit orchards and when we make the turn off the highway we're alongside peach trees all the way to the resort.  As the name implies, it's on a lake, and most people come here to fish.  We easily find a nice site with a full hookup and get settled in.  A couple of feral kittens check us out from a distance and as we're eating dinner outside. We're able to get them to come close enough to lick our (paper) plates, but not close enough to pet.  Good thing Quill didn't see them.

We were warned of mosquitoes here and they would be sure to come for me, but we don't see any.  So after a quiet day we get a good night's sleep.

Tuesday is an even quieter day.  Vicky works on her H&R Block online class, while I take care of the laundry and do some online research for our 40th Anniversary trip to Italy next year.

We again end with dinner outside but no sign of the feral kittens today.
