Got up and walked around the lake this morning and although the park is busy we passed only one other person. The lake is about 1 ½ miles around and is quite pretty, although there are very few water birds here, just the odd duck or two and a big blue heron. There are plenty of fish in the lake though, and some of them are a good size.

After getting clean we headed out first to Rocklin and then into Roseville to do some shopping. Since we have no sewer and are going to be staying a bunch of parks without full hooks up in the next few months, we decided to visit camping world and get a poop pot. I’m sure it has an actual name but I can’t think what it as right now, but it’s a tank on wheels that we can dump our sewage into and then take it to the dump station to empty without having to move the trailer. I think it’s going to come in very handy providing Mike doesn’t want me to touch it.
After camping world we headed a little way south to Roseville, which is a fairly big city that has every shop you could possibly ever want, and did some food shopping and got lunch.  Exciting huh!
On the drive to Rocklin and Roseville, and on the way home we passed field after field that was filled with water. Turns out this area of California produces 95% of the states rice crop, and before the fields are planted they are flooded to 5 inches deep to allow the rice to germinate free from weeds. And the planes we have seen flying over us, the bright yellow ones, are not spraying or just joy riding but are actually planting the rice; it is dropped from the underside of the plane as they fly over the prepared field – who knew!

Mike: Becc, your just a wealth of information!
