\tWe were fortunate today in that we departed from Hesperia and its abundant nothingness. We pulled out of the trailer park and got on I-15 southbound, leaving US-395 which has taken us through spectacular scenery for the last 1,000 miles.
\n\tI-15 climbs a bit from Hesperia until it reaches Cajon Pass at about 4.200′ elevation. From there, it is all downhill into the metropolitan San Bernardino\/Riverside area. We took I-215 (which runs parallel and east of I-15) around the big, bad metro traffic and cruised without slowdown all the way to Menifee. In Menifee we turned east a few miles and pulled into Wilderness Lakes RV Resort, a Thousand Trails (free, for us) campground.
\n\tWilderness Lakes has pretty spacious RV spots, full hookups, paid wi-fi and some big ditches full of water which the operators claim are lakes. The local waterfowl like the ditches. There are nearby good stores like Trader Joe’s, Costco, Home Depot and Lowe’s. In late September of 2016, it is also very hot here; it was 91 when we pulled into our space. TGFA\/C – thank god for air conditioning. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
