One of the memorable things we did today was to stop at a Supermarket in Visalia. If you don't know the area we are in the middle of California's orchards and vineyards. Well, this had to have been the most fun and colorful Mexican Supermarket ever! I wish I would have had my camera. The produce is pile high - several feet - and it is so neat and of course so fresh. Many things I have not ever seen before. The meat market was the same way and of course there was lots of stuff I did not know. The deli was delicious smelling and the tortillas were being cranked out like crazy. Ron struck up a conversation with the Miller Beer distributor who ended up tracking him down to give him a cap.
We stayed at the Camp James Campground in Kernville, recommended by the Chamber of Commerce lady. A really nice park on the banks of the Kern River. We have been lucky with the campgrounds. Our neighbors own "Snow-Line Orchard" in Oak Glen CA. They were very interesting. They were here to buy antiques that they sell in their Apple Orchard.
Driving highway 178 from Bakersfield was challenging - a winding, narrow canyon highway.
