It was a long drive and after we got through the L.A. basin we started seeing windmills everywhere along the highway.
I couldn't help but wonder if California is really benefiting from all of them. To me, they are an eyesore and I'd much rather see solar panels for alternative energy. Maybe because they don't take away from the landscape as much as the windmills.
When we arrived at Shadow Hills we were welcomed by a very nice lady who gave us fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, 2 packets of Crystal Light Pur lemonade (that was so good!), a list of the parks policies, a site map, a map of the area and an calendar of events. There were a handful of RV's there that looked as though they are there all year but no one in them. Maybe the owners pay by the month for that particular space until they come in the winter months, I'm not sure. It was like a ghost town for us. Only a few trailers and RV's looked liked someone was in them. We set-up the RV, ate dinner and called it a night. We didn't site see while we were there since we arrived at 5:30 and really there wasn't much to see anyway but in the winter months Shadow Hills looks like this:
We left Saturday morning and were right back in all the traffic. We made a couple rest stop breaks and soda stops before getting back to the storage facility where we store our RV which was about 2pm. I have to come up with a better/quicker way to take the fridge items, clothes, laundry, perishables from the RV to our house and vice versa. It just seems like we have so many bags and boxes of items. I know there is a better way! We put everything into the car and left our Starflyte until the next trip.
We have to make another California trip next month but we make take a short 3 or 4 day trip before then. I'll be sure to write about it.
Until then . . .
