Friday we got away from Kingsburg about 10am. We had been having a problem with the right front tire on the motor home losing a little air. I thought maybe it was the PressurePro sensor that was leaking as it would lose3 or 4 pounds per day. I called Good Sam Road Service and they gave me the names of two tire companies within a couple of miles from the RV park.

We went to the closest one and the fellow removed the right front tire and put it in a tank of water and found the leak at the valve stem. It had a metal valve stem in it but the rubber seal was old and leaking. He replaced the valve stem with another metal one, a bit longer and all seems to be well, at least a couple of days later.

It was noon by the time we got out of town and headed north on road 99 to the town of Fresno, CA. we went to the Walmart on the north side of town, closest to our route as we needed some groceries, etc. This was supposed to be a Super Store, but they only had limited groceries, no fresh fruit or veggies, so it was almost a wasted stop. we headed north on sr41 to the Sierra SKP park just south of Coursegold, CA.

This is really a nice park, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It has 161 acres and over 500 lots, all different in size as well as terrain. Adjcent lots are at different levels so you do not look into your neighbors windows, etc. Lots of Live Oak trees, Grey squirrels and Red Headed woodpeckers.

We are getting to know a few people already. I played Bridge with a few and we went to the Ice Cream social this afternoon.

We are scheduled to be here for a week, but we may extend that another week or more as we have nothing planned to do next. We are just resting, seeing the sights locally and getting caught upon things.

Our pictures are from Kingsburg, CA. The water tower was very interesting as well as a couple of churches in the downtown section. A nice town in the middle of a vast agricultural area. We saw grapes, several kinds of fruit groves, several different kinds of nut groves, hay fields, green corn, apparently for feeding cows as there are several dairy herds around. It appears that you can grow most anything you want with irrigation, at any time.
