Lake Isabella KOA
Road Trip! 10 States, 4000 miles
Who: Dianne, Joshua, Nora
One of the nicer KOA's we stayed at. A bit out of the way though. We had to drive through the Mojave Dessert on the way. 106 degrees. Yuck!
The park had nice sized spaces and the kids enjoyed the pool.
Hands Down, THE worst day of the trip came leaving this campground. And, it wasn't the cows fault.
I asked at the KOA the best way to get where we were going. I was OK with a bit longer if it was more scenic. She told me to go North through the Sierra Nevada's , past the Trail of 100 Giants and then just follow Hwy. 290 out to the freeway. 20 extra minutes tops.
It added a good 2 HOURS to the trip. Shortly after the cows, the road went along a cliff, with no guardrails, and constant turns, weaves and hairpins. For over an hour. All three of us got car sick. It was awful. We had no idea how long the road was and just had to keep going. It was so bad, the kids don't even want to go back to California and I've had to promise multiple times we will never, ever, go on that road again. Ever.
I still have nightmares about this road.
The final night of our trip was spent in Grants Pass at a motel.
Final tally - 4,164 miles. 15 nights. 10 states. 105 Geocaches.
