Monterey Pines RV Campground - 24

Since we are only driving 3 hours today, we took our time getting on the road this morning. We were in the car around noon and on our way to Monterey, thankful to leave the heat behind! On our way we passed a fire on some farmland right off the 5 freeway. Our route took us over the Pacheco pass which is a nice easy drive through the hills over to the 101. Our campground is apart of the Naval Postgraduate School MWR facilities and literally was in the middle of a golf course! That was pretty weird. We made it in ok and were all set up and ready to cook dinner way before dark which is always a plus! The campground is very small, and there were a lot of kids running around which made it quite difficult for Kyle to back the trailer into our spot. The kids weren’t about to stop their play time for us that was for sure. But Kyle got us backed in and all level even with the brats in his way. Patient man he is!  We had an issue with the hose spigot that was at our site. W

Millerton Lake SRA - 136

Well...We learned on this trip that we need to invest in some electric blankets or a space heater! The weather during the day was perfect, but it dropped down to freezing temperatures at night and I did not plan for that at all…Whoops! Anyways, we headed out to Millerton Lake after work on Friday night. It only took about 1h 30min to get up there, it is just north of Fresno. We beat the sunset which was nice so it wasn't completely dark when we were setting up. The drive in is beautiful, especially with the sun going down. We made reservations for this campground online but apparently they are first come first serve only so we did't get the spot that we paid for. That isn't noted on the reservation website. The spot that I wanted was facing the lake but away from the "RV Row" which is basically a parking lot. Well that spot was obviously taken when we arrived so the camp host put us in spot 136…the parking lot…Oh well. At least it was close to the bathrooms.
