This is becoming a fun habit!
And there we go. Last night out ends where we began. I seriously don’t know what we’ll do when Harris Ranch completes their RV park. We can see them well on their way in construction. No idea how much they will charge for people to stay overnight in an olfactory overload zone. But it will likely not be free. Which is part of the appeal. And they will no doubt cease the allowance of parking lot camping.
Fine BBQ from the gas station
We have come to really look forward to getting dinner at the BBQ next to the Shell station. The bank charge comes through as the Shell gas station, so we have to remember to re-categorize it as dining out. But it’s the best barbecue chicken, ribs, or tri-tip you can possibly get from a to-go counter inside a gas station store. And the mashed potatoes and gravy call to all of my favorite childhood comfort food memories. We went inside the resort store and got really expensive half pints of Harris Ranch ice cream. If you drizzle those babies with chocolate syrup from a squeeze bottle, you have pretty much arrived at the pinnacle of life experiences.
We finished up watching all of the Christmas movies we had for this trip and reflected on what worked well or what we might do differently. One thing is for sure: Richard has really enjoyed having a real for real winter break with zero work expectations. This was a great trip!
Total miles from Lake Isabella: 146.2, 18.9 mpg, 3 hours 34 min. 169.8 miles to home.
You succeeded in making me starved for barbecue, mashed potatoes and ice cream. Good job!
Haha! Well then, my work here is done!
