Fueling problems


Aug. 8, it was a shorter than usual drive today to Bakersfield.  We had to stop for diesel at a Flying J; we pulled into the RV lane only to find the diesel hoses bagged so the next plan was to move into the area where cars go.  There was a truck pulling a 5th wheel taking up the diesel lane so we waited.  As we waited a truck pulled into a parking place in front of the store cutting down our turning radius.  Don still thought he could do it and given a couple more feet he would have, he needed to back up and to do that the car has to be unhitched.  Here we were in the middle of the traffic removing the car; I quickly parked the car and guided Don into the pump.  After we got diesel we moved in a parking area off the road to hitch up the car again.  We had only 20 miles to go, but I’m not driving in the California traffic and Don needed my navigational skills.  We got to the campground before noon, the campground calls themselves a Luxury Resort, it is nice but not that nice.  Later we went on a trip to find a USA Today paper and found none but did find a Del Taco and stopped to bring home dinner.  We also went to Camping World and found a drawer latch that should be better than the one we bought the other day.  Another hot day, the MH is very slow in cooling down.
