Today we pulled up stakes in Acton and boogied north. In the morning, as we drove the few miles from Acton to Lancaster, the wind started to blow with gusts that seemed right up around 60 mph. As we continued north on CA-14, I was busy trying to keep the truck and trailer in one lane, maybe because the side of our trailer looks like a billboard and the effects of crosswinds are harrowing. We continued up toward Mojave and the wind slowly backed off. Right about the time we turned west toward Tehachapi, the wind almost quit and made the long descent into Bakersfield easy.

In Bakersfield we turned north on CA-99 and began a long run through abundant agriculture. There certainly are a bunch of citrus groves but the only way I could identify the plants was because there were lots of oranges on the ground. In Visalia, we turned east and followed the road about 20 miles until we spotted the Lemon Cove Village RV Park and Campground. It is located right between stands of oaks and orange (or maybe lemon) groves. There are full hookups, a pool, a dog park, a little store and mature shade trees. It is pretty here. We put the bird feeder out right away because there are birds everywhere.
