Smack dab in the middle of Los Angeles County – that is
where we are today! I never would have
believed it! The name of this place is
East Shore RV Park in San Dimas. It is
in the middle of a county park with rolling hills, a lake, big trees, paved roads
and lots and lots of bright green grass for Jake!
We sat under the shade of a Jacaranda tree this afternoon
after our bike ride and played cards for an hour or so. It was perfectly warm with only a little breeze
passing by us. Jake is in heaven with
all this grass. He even went running around
with excitement! (Jake is fairly old and doesn’t run very often!)

I certainly didn’t expect to find this wonderful place. The wind forecast for today up on the
Grapevine where we were headed was high so we decided to take two days to make
the short 186 mile trip from Indio to Gorman.
Today’s trip was 101 miles – such a short easy day that we almost feel
guilty – but not really! When we decided
not to travel all the way, I went searching for something in the middle of LA
Basin near the I-10 Freeway. I didn’t
think I would find anything at all, certainly not someplace as lovely as
this. If we were staying longer, I would
have hoped for a space with a view but for just one night, this is just
wonderful! I am sure it will fill up
tomorrow with people coming in for the 3-day weekend but right now all around
us are empty spaces.
When we toured on our bikes we noticed that most of the park
is filled with permanent residents. We
have seen so much of this on our trip.
It really mystifies me. I love my
RV and love living in it but I didn’t think there were so many others who felt
the same way. (You can tell that they
are permanent residents when there is a huge barbeque or lots of potted plants
and children’s toys lying about or a skirt on the RV to keep the cold out.) So, what do you think the deal is? I know there are a lot of people who move
around the country often as contract workers (the park in Meridian, MS was full
of these people) but I also think there may be many people who have been really
hurt in this depression and maybe lost their homes and are living in their
RV. You have to wonder……

Tomorrow we will drive our hour and a half to Pyramid Lake
RV Park and have a reunion with Jim and Heather! Can’t wait to see those guys!!
