Palmdale CA

We ended our 2015 trip in Palmdale and stored the rig for the winter.

Our dear friends Fred and Carol took good care of the truck and trailer and we were happy to find everything as we left it 7 months ago.

The truck started as it never was on hold and everything worked fine in the trailer, the slides opened normally, the fridge kicked off immediately and the most important -NO MICE or any other insects....so we are back to normal.

After saying hellos I placed the battery in the trailer ,hooked the truck and pulled the trailer to the yard with water and electric connection.

Loaded the luggage and the let the ladies get it in place.

 

in the evening we invited our hosts for dinner to S&B for dinner, it is a very popular place with good food,good service and reseonable prices.

 

 

After a long day that started in L.A we all needed a good night sleep in our home.

Now we have to get and load the grosseries,service the truck and on the road we go….

Winter storage in Palmdale CA

One of the most difficult things in our RV life style is leaving the truck and trailer for the winter at the end of our RV summer trip and not seeing it till the next summer.

We have to leave it close to an International Airport from where we can fly out/in and it is always a great issue.

As I do my planning in the winter for the next RV summer trip I usually try to find a RV campground that also has an outside  storage area ,they are way cheaper than a regular Boat/RV storage places .

Some times one that owns a RV and has place on his property invites us to to store the rig next to his and that was the case this time.

Fred answered my post on the RV forum simply saying “ come and store your rig next to mine” …wow I thought the guy does not know anything about us but still is ready to invite strangers to his home…well not only we were able to store our rig in a safe place but were blessed to meet Fred & Carol , great real people.

Before leaving Palmdale to Los Angeles Airport Fred took us to visit the Air Force Museum ,his joy and pride and although I am a Navy man I enjoyed the visit very much.

  

Thank you Fred & Carol it was a pleasure meeting you both and it will be again when we come in the summer to pick the rig, stay safe and have a great winter.

I wish there were more people like them to make world  a much better place.
