Kit and Carol on the Road

Hated to leave Jalama. Actually the drive up 1 and 101 wasn't all that bad. A few showers but definitely needed. The usually spring green hills are part brown and many of the trees--esp eucalyptus, are brown and stressed as well. We had great hopes for Pleasanton. We had been here before and found it very pleasant. But that does NOT apply to the fairgrounds RV park. This is a dismal place indeed--even if the rain hadn't shown up in earnest. We wanted to walk into town for dinner like we do in Calistoga. But the place is a prison. They lock the gates at 6pm and the only way back in is clear and gone out of town. And there is a $40 charge for bathroom keys (luckily refundable). At least we hope it's quiet here.
