May 14 -Bakersfield, CA

Day 3: On to Bakersfield - - - - a bustling town of over 300,000 population, located in a drab desert of southern California. Least you think all is sweetness and light, for the past few days our blessed old truck air conditioner was having major problems. Anyhow, we arrived at a very nice RV park with all the nice amenities. The cyclists erected their tent on the lush, green lawn beside our trailer. That evening they went to bed. In the wee hours of the morning the sprinklers came on and they had a wet experience, having to move their tent to a dry RV pad next door. Ahh- the joys of camping.
