No problems hooking up this morning as Mike finally figured out how the fifth wheel hitch works and gave it a good greasing the other day. We got on the road and headed north towards Sacramento, although we didn’t quite get to the capitol yet. For the next couple of weeks we are going to be on the Sacramento Delta just outside of Isleton and about 20 miles north of Stockton. The drive to get here was uneventful and mostly along the I5 until we took the bumpiest road ever for a few miles; I have no idea what Californian taxes are being spent on but it isn’t the roads, they are about the worst in the country. After getting of CA12 we wound up on the Delta loop, which is a road along the top of a levy that took us right to the campground, Lighthouse Marina. We got checked in with a kid who had no idea what he was doing, and then went and found our space.

The spaces here with sewer hook ups have no trees around them, but since we are here for two weeks we still opted for a full hook-up. Mike got into the backing up, which wasn’t too bad, as the spaces in front of us are empty. After telling him to keep an eye on the tree so as not to hit Xena I went to watch the back end of the trailer. I guess next time I’ll have to be more explicit and tell him to watch anything attached to the trees as well as he managed to scrape Xena’s butt with a sign. Silly boy, he’s the one driving and I’m the one who gets blamed! Then, I told him we were level, and instead of confirming for himself he believed me and now we are going to spend the next couple of weeks having to walk with one leg longer than the other cos the left side of the trailer is lower than the right.
We finally got sorted and then went for a stroll around the ‘resort’. The campground is nice as it’s very green and there’s no traffic noise even though we are close to the road, but it’s definitely a place for water rats. If you have a boat or like to fish then this is the place to be, as we are right on the waterway.

Mike: Becc, you have to take responsibility for something!
