It was mostly a case of “any port in a storm” kind of mentality that led us to booking two nights at the Los Banos KOA Journey in the middle of California in early August. It’s hot but our air conditioning works wonderfully. Mornings and evenings are pleasant and the nights are cool. The campground WiFi works nicely. We’re taking advantage of the stay as a bit of a respite to read a book, do some laundry, work on the blog backlog, shop for groceries, savor a dinner out, enjoy watching the sunset, and looking at a starry sky. It’s been fun watching several families enjoy a reunion. Apparently they all have kids who were Kindergarten friends and although they now all go to different schools, the families have continued to get together a few times a year for a weekend of fun and games and shared meals. In fact they shared some wonderful grilled goodies with us. Now we’re more than ready to move on and find some adventure in Pinnacles before heading to the coast and some cool air.
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
