American rv resorts

On the 17th we left Corning and we headed to Talent, Oregon. That is our 16th state. But we had to stop and the hospital because my mom and some chest pain and turns out it was just something that was nothing. So we traveled to Talent. It was a trashy campground but it was all right. I would give it 4 out of 10 stars. My first look at Oregon was awesome all the snow covered mountains and the temperature dropped 10 degrees. And we are heading for Crater Lake National Park. Which i kind of want to see but not that bad.

Heritage rv park

On the 16th we left San Francisco and we headed for Corning, CA. We stopped at the Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield. It was cool to see all of those Jelly Beans and they had these awesome Jelly Beans that where to big or odd shaped and you could buy them and they are called Belly Flops which is a great name. And we met some people that were parked next to us in the Jelly Bean place and they were at the campground. They were really nice people and they had two grand daughters with them and they were fun to hang out with. I liked that campground because it had good paved roads some i had some trikking room. I would give it 7 out of 10 stars because there were some nice people there.

Alcatraz















On the 15th we went down to pier 31 to go to Alcatraz. We got on the boat and it only took 8 minutes to get to Alcatraz. But man was that water choppy there is no way you could swim in it and it is like 40 degrees. I was surprised how close Alcatraz is to San Francisco. It was only 1 mile to land. I loved Alcatraz because of all the stuff that happend and how preserved it is. My favorite part was seeing the air vents that they broke through and escaped. After all of that we walked back to the jeep and left.

Fishermans Wharf







On the 14th we took a ride in to San Francisco to Fisherman's Wharf. We parked the jeep and walked to Nicks Lighthouse which is a street vendor type thing but they had a permanent building. I had the Clam Chowder and it was horrible. We walked around for hours and i got my first look at Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. We walked about 15 block that day. Mostly just to get to Ghiradelli. On the way i stopped at The Spy Shop and that was so cool they had micro video cameras and hidden stuff. We made it to the ice cream place and then we walked to the worlds crookedest street. And that was so weird and steep. There were so many homeless people that it was disgusting. The streets were so steep and we had to walk them so it was pretty tiring.

Giants game

On the 13th we left Morgan Hill and headed for San Francisco. We stayed in Redwood City just outside of San Francisco. We stayed at Trailer Villa and i would give it 5 out of 10 stars because it was just a parking lot with hook ups. We went to the Giants against the A's. The field was awesome and we where the 2nd to the highest row. But you could see everything and you could hear everything. After the game we had to walk back to the parking garage and on the way back a fight happend. Alright this drunk guy was running his mouth and saying his team is the best and this other guy was walking 10 in front of him and the drunk guy came behind this guy and punched him out when we wasnt even looking and he was out cold we where right behing the guy when he fell to the ground then the drunk guy ran off. So we got a cop (because they are at every corner when a game ends) and the drunk guy was wearing a neon glow in the dark vest so we hope that they got him. And once we got to the parking garage it was valet parking so the guy was bringing us our car he didnt shut the door and hit the door on the colom and he didnt even say nothing when he got out just ran back to his desk. So it was pretty crazy.

morgan hill

On the 12th we left Big Sur and headed for Morgan Hill. We stopped here for a place to sleep and this place is so red neck. There where these people next to use that were fighting for six hours. And they had some tight security in this place. I would give it 4 out of 10 stars and it had a pool but it was too cold.

Hearst castle and big sur







On the 11th we left San Simeon and headed for Big Sur, CA but we had to stop at the Castle because we bought tickets the day before. We just made our tour by a couple of minutes. We got on the tour bus and it took us all the way to the top of this Mountain because that's where this guy wanted to build it. So we got up there and this was the coolest house ever this guy didn't cheap out on nothing. The ceiling was made of pure gold and the pool had bits and pieces of Roman ruins. It had a indoor pool a outdoor pool its own zoo and a huge rec room. It also had its own church. All of this and it was built in 1910. MR. hearsts' father was the first guy to find silver out west and he found tons of it. So thats how he could build it. But after that we started back on the road and headed for Big Sur another thing my mom wanted to do. We got to our SP and it was another dump no hook ups no showers nothing. It was another horrible place. I would give it 0 out of 10 stars. The worst one yet. 2 horrible places in a row i would rather be staying in the walmart parking lot.
