THE ADVENTURE HAS BEGUN

Day 1 - we have arrived in Patterson, CA at the Kit Fox RV Park.  Not much to talk about regarding the park gravel pads, FHU, freeway close.   Very convenient for a one night stopover.  $23.00 with our Passport America

Our day began with some issues related to hitching up the CRV.   Apparently the hitch wouldn't lock in because we live on a slightly sloped street.   We drove the partially hitched CRV (scary I know) over to the high school where after several attempts we were successful.  Just a few bad words were used - so not too bad!  We were off just about a half hour late.

Nothing to report on the travel - did the Tejon Pass with no trouble.  Very happy about the performance of the MoHo going both up and down the pass.  Of course we aren't used to going so slowly but there's no hurry now is there?

Got gas and found a TA station with nice big area to turn into and nicely spaced pumps.  Able to
turn away from pump with no issues!  Yay - I've been stressing about our gas station stops since this is the first time we will be getting gas in lots of different places.  We use the same station at home.  Since we are approximately 40 to 43 feet in length total - it's a task that you need to think about for sure, especially since there is no backing up this puppy with the CRV behind us.  Yikes

Gary did a great job driving - I was able to keep my mouth shut and not make any scary noises.

We still are having issues with tv - so no tv - but we don't need tv.   Tried using the rv park cable and got no signal or channels.   Haven't  even tried antenna just not worth it. 

Adios - until tomorrow night!  No pictures today - for some reason can't get them uploaded to Google Photos from my Iphone   Maybe tomorrow I'll try taking some with big camera and uploading to my comptuer directly.
