July 20, 2012 Wrapping up doctor appointments..

Where did the last two weeks go?  I left off at Root 66 RV Park where we spent the night on our way to Bakersfield, CA to have the truck’s air bag repairs done by Camping World.

We stopped at Zuni RV Park in Kingman, AZ the following night.  It was HOT in Kingman!  We didn’t dally, but continued to Bakersfield, CA.  Instead of the Elks’ Club, but decided to make sure we had electric hook-ups by calling the Bakersfield Palms RV Resort.
It was a good move!  For $25.50 a night with the Escapees 15% discount (We paid for two nights), we were very impressed with their new section of pull-thru sites.


The sites were level, concrete and so clean.  It was a delightful place to spend the next two nights.
The pool looked so inviting, but I needed to do laundry in their little laundry room on Sunday afternoon to be ready for our Camping World appointment at 9 a.m. Monday morning.

We left the car at the park and drove just drove the truck and camper to Camping World first thing Monday morning.  We were impressed with the service department. They diagnosed the problem and replaced the leaking valves in the new air bags that had been installed by the truck store in Livingston, TX.  Even though it took most of Monday to get the work done, we were happy with the service department.
We will be return to the Bakersfield Palms RV Resort on a future trip; it was a good experience.
Next stop was the Contra Costa Fairground in Antioch, CA, on July 10.  Just like the rest of the trip, it was HOT when we got up here.  However, just a week later, it cooled down enough to sleep without the air conditioner running all night—a first since we left Livingston. 
We are done with lab tests and doctors’ appointments.  Larry is cleared for six months until the next appointment….as long as Larry’s creatinine level doesn’t increase further.   We have lab tests done monthly and the results faxed to his kidney doctor.  If things start going sour, we will have to come back ASAP.
Life is GOOD!!!  We will leave here next Tuesday and head for Reno, NV, for a week.  And then it will be time to toss the coin—again.  Either stay another week in Reno, NV, or head for Alturas, CA, to visit our longtime friends who are also our Quartzsite neighbors—Fred and Arlene Cray.  Check back to see what we decide to do.
