Theresa then prepared some bacon, eggs and toast with fruit for b-fast. Kevin thought the meal was worthy of mimosas as well!
The temps were very pleasant (in the 60's) and other campers were donning jackets and long sleeves. Kevin brought out the drone for a flyover opportunity. See video.
The 'only' task today was to get the Mr. Opinion podcast posted for Kiehl. Notes had already been made while listening to it the previous evening so it did not take very long to complete the publishing process.
With less than 12 days of the original plan remaining and fires raging in CA the plan needed to be reviewed. Calls were made to the Carson City (Tahoe area) campground to discover they had lots of open sites so no reservations were required. Theresa also asked how the smoke conditions were in the area. The reply was a very honest “It's really bad”. With this eyewitness report, the plan was changed to only stay one night as a pass thru. Too bad because Kevin and Theresa were looking forward to returning to some of the Tahoe mountain biking trails they had experienced more than 25 years ago. Maybe it is a good thing.
The next stop, Mammoth Lakes was called. They had a similar story but said it had rained and that had helped some. Optimistically Theresa booked three nights there. There was lots of hiking and biking to do in that area! Hopes are for more rain to clear the air and keep the fires at bay.
Next Theresa looked up a place near Palm Springs that could do some normal maintenance and minor repair work before the final landing in Hemet. The Smitanic service was booked for Sept 25th with the hopes it will be just a one day affair. (Kevin gives the odds at 20% for that).
With all but 2 campgrounds left to book, the plan seemed solidified. More supplies were needed so the obligatory run to Walmart was required.
All that was left was to chill and work on blog and prep for check out tomorrow.
