Mar 30, 2013 - Last day

There wasn't much to do but to pack up and get ready to leave. We didn't have much to take back because we ate most of it so a smaller load to take back. We have long way to go back and left around 10:00 am. All and all it was a very good trip. Back to the city life.

Mar 29, 2013 - Sixth day

We got up on time this time and head out on our hike. We stop lot more to rest then we did before the week getting to us. With all that we still got to the top and saw below we even saw where we were before when we when on a hike. As we were up there we saw that we did know where the rest of the money we had was. It may have be a little but still it was money. We went back to the camp and looked for it, but still couldn't find it. It was dark and we were tired so we went in our tents poorer.

Mar 28, 2013 - Fifth day

We got up kinda late so we didn't finish our hike that day so we rode our bikes around the place and found a place where we could buy some souvenirs. I got something that said Camp Edison to bring back because I thought it was funny that we went to Edison school and camp. We started back to camp, but at first I thought we were lost and it was getting late. We got back to the camp site and had a fire and got a little out of control but it was safe.

Mar 27, 2013 - Fourth day

I was feeling a lot better when I got up that morning and with all that behind us I was glad of that. We lost a day so we want to get moving so we went hiking on a mountain we saw and want to climb it. We saw lot of things going up there. The fared we got from the campsite the more I could see around me and why we went there. We got really close to the top and saw the valley below us and how small everything was. We also saw that there was another side that got even closer to the top that we could reach from the side we were on. We want to...

Mar 26, 2013 - Third day

Well it was bad I got the worst belly flu I ever had before. I was throwing up everything that I eaten before. Charles wasn't feeling to good as well. I must of been something we eat or something like that. Someone came and help us a little bit. The camp let us use the bathrooms that were on the campsite because we had projectile vomiting and diarrhea and I mean it was bad. We could do much today with all that coming out. So we just got some rest and we were close to the bathroom most of the time.

Mar 25, 2013 - Set Off to Shaver

The day started with the intoxicating essence of mom's homemade breakfast as the sun raised on a beautiful spring day. I ate my breakfast and then began packing for the big 1 week excursion to Shaver Lake, I packed my bag with all needed: Clothes, blankets, food utincles, and personal hi gene. After I was done packing I called to make sure Jesus was ready and my mom and I drove off to pick him up. Soon after we picked Jesus up we went to Walmart to get our tents, cooler,flashlights, etc. Finally we were on the road, while on the road i...

Mar 25, 2013 - Second day

Well we got there and boy were we tired our body hurt, but we got there and got to our site and slept thorough the night and half of the next day. We got up and we were by a lake so we went swimming and relaxed the rest of the day. Then we made our food to eat for dinner went back in our tents. Sure hope we don't get sick on this trip that would be bad.

Mar 24, 2013 - San Joaquin valley

Good nights sleep in the cool mountains and then hit the road to roll down the mountains to the valley up thru the centre of California . Everything is grown here. All kinds of fruit from cherries to oranges and watermelon . As well as nuts, grapes(eating and wine) Sun-maid raisins are here.very flat farmlands. Both fertile and sandy soil. Lots of irrigation going on. Very well organized.

Mar 24, 2013 - Day 1

So while planning for this trip with only $586 we decided to go to Bakersfield. My sister-in-law said it was alright for me and Elaine to go over for a week. Our form of transportation was Greyhound. When we arrived at 4:30 in the morning at Bakersfield we slept for some hours then went to the Vallarta to buy some basic groceries. This is the email saying that it was ok for us to go over for a week These are the tickets and the price of the Greyhound tickets that we had bought This is the receipt of the groceries that we had bought to...

Mar 24, 2013 - Why We Decided

We decided to go to Shaver Lake for numerous of reasons. The first being that we were low on money. Since we couldn't go far with gas and other necessities being high we resulted with Shaver Lake being the best option. Since it was close by Fresno it makes it easy to travel and is affordable. To addition to that it is something new since I personally haven't went camping before . Lastly it seems to be a great experience to see a different side of California being away from the city lights and more into a natural environment.

Mar 24, 2013 - First day

This was our first day and was it hard we met at 10:00 am on our bikes and started to go together to a place in the wood called Camp Edison. It took us around 8 hours to get there but we stop at place to get some rest and eat a little. We got everything we need for the seven day before hand.

Jan 30, 2013 - Closer

300 miler today to make our ETA in Phoenix on Friday. Mistakenly returned to a park we didn't like when here before but to our surprise looks like new management has revitalized the place and its good now. Daylight till after 6 and temps remain in high 60s or 20C for young people. Great meal of baked potato and fresh tiger prawns with coleslaw and weight continues to drop off. Rig and trailer are in desperate need of a wash but uncertain when i will be able to carry it out. Looking forward to 3/gal gas in Arizona its running 3.50 here in...
