After a few trials and tribulations, we drove the I-15 mountain pass yesterday.

Yes, that is snow. Yes, those are windmills, for miles and miles. Wonder what the farmers,  and cows are thinking..

We also spot what looks like a sea of solar panels (we already saw some) but we are told these are mirrors. 

Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants use mirrors to concentrate the energy from the sun to drive traditional steam turbines or engines that create electricity.  Impressive technology! 

Our destination? Yosemite RV Resort, 25 miles from the Yosemite National Park. The idea was to visit the Park as well as the Sierra National and Sequoia National forests.  Because of our late arrival  (and temperatures below freezing at night this week) some sightseeing might have to wait till the next time we visit the area, hopefully in October of 2019.

But for now, we appreciate the Resort, its views of the snow caped mountains, the silence…

Thank God for electricity (not sure how it is produced…) and Dan’s heavy and very warm blanket 🙂 Can’t wait to meet Dan and Jess and Mel and Curtis in San Francisco in less than a week!

To our family and friends!

Good thing Roger and I celebrated yesterday 🙂

Yes, broke down. But no worries. All part of RVing.

Or leave you perplexed

But they are always fun!

Personalized licence plates that is…

Some RVers consider their motorhomes Highway Yachts.

Some choose a personalized licence plate to express feelings

Some car license plates leave you feeling nostalgic…

So when Mel thought of this as my personalized plate,

                                       WEYONDON,

I was very pleased of course! This would definitely be fun!

But when, walking out of the hospital at 9 p.m. one September, I found this note on my windshield, I knew why I liked personalized plates.

The note said :
Monsieur, madame,
J’aime bien gros votre licence. La mienne est    

                                                          WHATASUE      

 J’ai bien du plaisir à lire les licences bien pensées.

Sue et Marcel.

How was she to know?  The patient I was visiting in the hospital was my sister Sue…her note made me smile:)

I do hope to meet Sue and Marcel one day!

I do hope you look for fun plates when travelling!
