WE HAVE LANDED IN LOTUS, CALIF.

Sorry, I should have written yesterday, but we are now at a Thousand Trails RV Park called Ponderosa Resort in Lotus, California. It's another 1000 Trails park that is way back in the hills, with lots of trees, we were able to get our satelite dish for the computer to work, but no cell phone service and no TV. This place has one little section that has full hook-up and lots of trees and that is where we are at. The rest of the resort (ha ha) is right on, or near, the South Fork American River and it tends to get flooded. They have the snow melting from the Sierra's and lots of rain that's why they don't have sewer hookups on the lower part of the resort.
Today we drove into Rocklin to Camping World and purchased a new satelite dish for the TV, one of the ones that you put out under all the trees with a cable reaching back to the RV TV so now we have TV again. I guess after Mexico, we don't want to go without TV again? No, actually we need one because of all the 1000 Trail Parks that are so out of the way from city life it really will come in handy. Anyway, we went into Rocklin, then went to the visitor center to see what is around this area. We then went to Down Town Auburn and walked around and just checked out things. We got back in the afternoon and hooked up the new satelite dish, yea, TV again, and hung around.
Tonight, I said to Dave, we didn't get a nap today, and he said it is the 1st day we didn't work hard, we are away from Bakersfield, no dog, we could just relax for once.
That's it for now. American Idol is on, and got to see who gets kicked off.
