Monday, April 9th - Kingsburg, CA

Packed up and drove the 30 miles north to Kingsburg, CA, the home of Sun-Kist Raisin Growers and, the world's largest box of raisins. If I see this box, i will take a pic, just for the blog. We stopped for breakfast at Denny's in Hanford, CA, a bustling little town just east of Lemoore.

I had previously talked with the owner of a Passport America affiliated campground here in Kingsburg who said he did not take reservations but, come on, there would probably be room. PPA parks offer 50% discounts for some or all of your stay. We arrived at his RV park, checked with him...yes, there was room...just pick one of the three pull-thrus and then pay. The trees were situated such that I needed to have the satellite dome (front of coach on the roof) where it had a view of the southwestern sky. That meant parking the coach opposite the normal way, such that the hook-ups to water, electric, etc. were on the passenger side and, therefore, I would have to route my connections UNDER the coach...something I have had to do in the past...never has been a problem. Well, this did not sit well with the campground owner who came out yelling, was rude to MA, and when I continued the parking process, was rude to me. I had enough of that and we left his place and located another, nicer park, about 5 miles away, still in Kingsburg.
