"Right Back Where They Started From"

Just a little 277 mile jaunt from Pahrump, Nevada, to Bakersfield, CA.  We left Pahrump this morning with a cup of Irene's Off 160 coffee in our hands and headed for Shoshone, CA.  After dancing around the edges of Death Valley, we arrived in Baker, picked up I15 and headed for Barstow.  The rest of the trip was cake on Hwy 58 straight west into Bakersfield. We were going to stop in Tehachapi at a little rv park we've stayed at in the past, but we wanted to get another 40 miles done today.  We're at River Run RV Park, a nice, well kept park, with lots of grass between spaces, and concrete or gravel to park on.  The only drawback is the noise.  The park is very close to Hwy 99, which is one of the two major north-south routes through Cali.



The park has a nice patio with a gas grill available for guests, and we did some 'burgers on it this evening.  There is a nice trail along the (dry) river that can be accessed by guests as well, and some nice lighting.


If you look closely at about mid-pic, you can see tail-lights on cars on the freeway.  I guess $39 a night gets you the opportunity to count cars instead of sheep.  6,277....6,278...6,279....oops.

We're happy to be heading home, even though the weather in Nevada and Arizona is finally warming up...the day we leave, of course.  We'll be home soon.
