Our second attempt at our first camping trip in the new trailer went off (I can't say "without a hitch") beautifully. Saturday, November 8th we drove 15 miles from our home to Rio Viento RV Park on the Sacramento River (I think rio viento means "windy river"). It's on Sherman Island Road which is the first left turn going north after crossing the Antioch Bridge. Our dear friends Kevin and Barbara O'Connell were there to greet use when we arrived. They have a luxurious motorhome that they have turned into a cozy home on wheels. They cooked us a beautiful dinner - kevin b-b-q'd tritip in the wind and Barb made broccoli and potatoes with bacon, onions and shrooms. Being early birds Judy and I were in bed by nine, having successfully navigated our way to the nether edges of the county and managing to survive in that raw windy wilderness.Sunday morning Richard made coffee at first light and then took a walk to explore the fishing possibilities on the river. Alas, the north winds cut through his thick clothing and the devilish seas pounded the shore sending our erstwhile provider back to the shelter of the camp. Kevin and Barb saved the day with a delicious breakfast of eggs & bagels while Richard contributed linguica sausage. We ate at their place and then made preparations to return home. We drove away at 11:10 AM and were parked, unhitched and settled in at home by 1:00PM.
Everything on the trailer works great. We love it and look forward to many great adventures in the future!
