It has been several days since I posted to the blog. Not that nothing has happened, but not anything out of the ordinary. Sunday and Monday were primarily rest days with not a lot going on. We did go to the Ice Cream Social at the clubhouse and get to know a few more people.



Monday we went to the Casino, basically across the highway from the park to look it over and get our Players card. It is free and you get $20.00 playing money for free as well as discounts on food, etc. We have not had the opportunity to eat there and spend our gambling money, but will do so in a few days. It was on to Coarsegold to get a haircut. Sure is hard to find a good hair cut on the road. All they want to do for $15.00 is give you a trim that lasts about 10 days and then you need to do it again. So it goes with life on the road.



Most people go on north of Coarsegold to the town of Oakhurst which is quite a bit larger and has a lot more to offer. Lots of fresh vegetables at the super market, but expensive as it is far from the suppliers. Gas is high as well, $3.05 and $3.09 for regular. Maybe when we get out of CA, the land of quakes and flakes, it will be less expensive.



We are thinking about attending the 49ers Gold Rush days in Death Valley National Park the first part of November, so we will see how that goes. May do a hamfest in Kingman, AZ about that time as well, so we will see if that all works out for us, or we just stay here and enjoy the mountains and wildlife.



The Red headed Woodpeckers are having trouble with the squirrels stealing their nuts from their hiding place. When the Squirrels get close they fly down and peck them in the head or grab their tail and lift their back end off the ground. It is fun just to watch all that is going on.



The covey of Quail come through the lot about every day, if the cat is not out. The cat watches all that goes on but does not bother the squirrels and the Red Headed Woodpeckers are not worried about the cat as they just stay away.



We will be going to Fresno to get refils on my meds and to shop at some really big stores in the area. That will probably be on Monday.



Tonight, it will be Casino night at the club house. a $5.00 donation gets $600.00 in casino chips to play with. So it will be interesting to see how that goes.
