Kernville, CA - Moving On

We'll be heading out shortly. It looks like our initial plan of heading slowly north through the USFS to Kings/Sequoia is not going to work. We've been warned that the narrow, winding, steep slopes through the mountains aren't advisable for an RV our length. Bummer, we were looking forward to more scenic beauty along the way. These roads are Mtn 99, 190, or even west on 155. So now it appears we'll head southwest to 178, then north on 65 and 245 and just head into Kings Canyon today. We need to get ourselves a campsite somewhere before tomorrow's start of Memorial Day Weekend. We're sure everything will be packed by Fri night.

Since we will be in Kings, Sequoia, and Yosemite NPs and several USFS campsites from now til late June this means no electric hookups for a month. This may mean no posts for the next month unless we get WIFI somewhere in a lodge or wherever. Therefore you may not hear from us for awhile...or if we feel the need we may put up the dish when the generator is on. Normally generator usage is pretty limited in the Nat'l Parks which is why we are thinking about just not worrying about it. We'll see. This is first time we've brought along our own internet...we've gotten pretty addicted to it!!

Talk to you all soon!

We find it nice not to have power for some short stints. Forces you to enjoy the quiet and get away from the computer. But we still would use the generator and raise the dish for an hour or two each day during the allowed time period. Just leave the dish up in between. I'm sure you'll have some gorgeous pictures from there. We want to see!

How about running the modem and router off the inverter and use the gen to charge the batteries? I bet it would work longer than you think.
