These are pictures Joe took with our new zoom lens on the night before we left Bass Lake, CA. |
It was the super moon. neither of us were impressed with the super moon. It looked like any other full moon to us. We would not be able to get this close up of the moon like this, without the zoom. |
I like two lane roads because they are more interesting than interstates. |
Some of the grasses on the hillside had turned pretty pink. |
As we descended we lost the tall pines. |
From Mariposa we made a climb again, to add to the other many climbs that day. |
View from the top, as we headed back down. |
At about 560 feet, we lost most of the trees. |
Soon we were in the valley of central California again, |
and back to the orange groves. |
I didn't know pistachios were grown in California. The advantages of travel. Learning where pistachios grow! |
Not sure what is growing in this field. Maybe alfalfa. |
Hwy. 140 connected to Interstate 99. We drove north 112 miles on I-99 to Sacramento. |
I-99 is a continual city to city, with no or very little country views. I did see these pretty white flowers along the roadside though. |
In Sacramento we took Hwy. 50 toward South Lake Tahoe. Joe really dislikes big city driving. This is what he doesn't like about our travels. |
On Hwy. 50 our check engine light came on as the engine missed a few times. |
We hooked onto I-80. this part of I-80 was terrible. Really ruff, and bump, bump bump! We held our breath's that the Nest wouldn't die along the way. She missed a few times but held up. |
We found the Cummings repairs facility, and back up to our new backyard for, not sure how long? |
The hook up parking spots are outside of the fenced area, so we could come after hours. They closed at 6PM, so we did get there before they closed, but wouldn't have had to. |
On a positive note the parking lot had flowering bushes to photograph. |
While I took pictures of our new backyard, |
Joe hook us up to electricity and also discovered a water hookup for watering the bushes; which he tapped into. |
The next morning we had to be up and ready to let them take our Nest into the garage by 8PM. That was a real trick for me! |
In the afternoon, while they worked on our Nest, we found a Wal-Mart for groceries. Sacramento's Super Wal-Mart had a very artsy look! |
That night, someone moved into our neighborhood. At least we drove ourselves to Cummings, and didn't have to be towed in, like our new neighbors. |
