began in california california as a whole was enjoyable pleasantly cool and comfortable barstow ca was hot and dry but still the best place for us to spend one night on our way to las vegas for six nights our home for those nights was desert eagle campground at nellis air force base the heat followed us there 110 degrees or higher desert eagle campground nellis afb las vegas nv on our first full day at the campground we hardly left the trailer except to take mortimer for walks and to finish setting it up for a six night stay late in the afternoon we decided to drive to the las vegas strip to try our luck helen did well and that s all i m saying we stayed home on night two to do some cleaning and organizing for the long trip home and to watch some world cup soccer fremont plaza las vegas nv on night three i felt brave enough to venture into a casino once more but i wasn t going back to the strip it s too busy and i thought a new location might improve my odds of at least breaking even we decided to try the area around the fremont hotel and casino in the older section of sin city exploring fremont plaza the plaza in front of the fremont stretches for several blocks and offers covered space and access to many bars and entertainment venues it s also a fun place to spend an evening away from the heat the chippendales were performing near the fremont i offered to purchase helen a ticket but she passed the gaming tables were a bigger draw get in line ladies we did passably well that night and returned for one more during our stay so i could give it all back despite coming up short i still had fun and learned that fremont plaza is a good alternative to the famous vegas strip i recommend it to anyone planning a trip in the campground we were treated to a brilliant fourth of july sunset and watched the washington d c fireworks display on television for an exciting conclusion to our time in las vegas the 4th on tv our route home usually follows the same path along i 40 we drive to flagstaff az for two nights then albuquerque nm for two more next comes amarillo and oklahoma city on previous trips we have followed oklahoma city with a night near ft smith arkansas but we learned that the electricity was out at that campground so we drove a bit further east to edens rv resort in pottsville arkansas the reviews were very good and we agreed with everything that was said edens was a new campground but the owners were doing everything necessary to make it successful from pottsville we made it to parker s crossroads in west tennessee for one night before the long drive to knoxville we were home on july 17 i was pleasantly surprised at how green everything was after spending three months without a drop of rain after leaving in april knoxville appeared green and lush i later learned that a lot of rain had worked its way up the tennessee valley aau under 15 champs shortly after arriving word came from carter our favorite grandson that his volleyball team won the aau under 15 national championship in orlando fl quite an accomplishment they never lost a match throughout the tournament s a i l class as soon as everything was put away and our fifth wheel camper returned to storage i made time for my exercise class it felt great to stretch my legs after so much driving helen returned to her pottery class her pickleball pals and the church choir mortimer gathered his treasure trove of teddys and assumed his favorite position under helen s puzzle table happiness is we had a wonderful trip but there s no place like home thanks for stopping by easin along easin along posted in fun athletes in action posted on july 6 2026 july 6 2026 by easin along carter sets up the ball helen and i agreed that we had taken our rv to california enough over the last few years and wanted to plan a trip across another part of the country nevertheless we learned early this year that bennett our granddaughter in charleston sc would play with her team low country united in a national soccer tournament in norco ca in june since our oldest son and his family live within an hour of the tournament site we saw it as a chance to spend some family time and agreed that an rv trip elsewhere would have to wait we went all in after eight lovely days in coronado ca we moved to the navy campground at seal beach ca where we have camped many times our son and his family live about 20 miles north in redondo beach carter our grandson was scheduled to play in a volleyball tournament at the los angeles convention center over the weekend we were there and we attended his matches on saturday and sunday carter played very well and his team won all of the matches with bebe and big daddy in the stands we also squeezed in a trip to the long beach farmer s market on sunday always a treat long beach farmer s market collin and bennett arrived in california the following wednesday and joined the family at hennessey s tavern hermosa beach my favorite pub in the south bay area emily my niece from knoxville attends law school at usc and joined us there with her friend olivia we had a large amount of fun on the patio next to the hermosa pier the breeze coming off the pacific was delightful family hermosa beach ca the soccer tournament began on thursday and low country united faced off against a team from murfreesboro tn united took care of business 5 1 bennett a center midfielder played great and got an assist on the first goal over the weekend united played in two more matches against teams from california and north carolina wins in both matches sent our girls into the semifinals united flashed w signs as did a bunch of very proud parents movin down the field flashing the first w between matches helen and i hosted the family at our campsite in chino ca in the very lovely prado regional park bocci ball frisbee games and cornhole kept everyone entertained pancakes and bacon kept everyone fed justin and the family camped next to us we don t get opportunities like this very often made the semi finals in the semifinals on monday united was matched against a team from new york it was not a game for sissies both teams played a hard fought physical match but alas with five minutes remaining the new yorkers scored the only goal sending united home with a 1 0 loss many of bennett s teammates had played together since early childhood but many of them were moving on to other teams or other sports so this was the last game they would play as a group tears were shed by several proud parents after the game many of the team members and parents gathered at honors sports bar for dinner and to watch world cup soccer the place was packed bennett and a few of her teammates climbed a small mountain overlooking norco and snapped this picture the sting of the semifinal loss had abated by then the flight home was good as well helen mortimer and i had reservations at prado until wednesday hoping for a shot at the finals but most of the team rescheduled flights a day early we canceled our last day as well packed up and drove to barstow ca for one night on our way to las vegas for six saying goodbye was tough but we had a wonderful experience saying hello on this trip it doesn t happen often enough for these two bi coastal grandparents it s on to vegas baby join us there easin along easin along posted in fun sitting on the dock of the bay coronado ca posted on june 21 2026 june 20 2026 by easin along sailboat races in the bay helen mortimer and i scampered out of the heat in arizona as soon as we could we canceled the last two days of our reservation at lost dutchman so that we could get to fiddler s cove marina and rv park earlier than planned we would have canceled more nights in arizona but fiddler s cove was full and i understand why camping by the water we have four military campgrounds at the top of our list of favorites and fiddler s cove on coronado island is at the top whidbey island wa is a very close second but i doubt we ll get there again we reserved 10 nights in fiddler s cove four nights in a middle row and six nights on the waterfront when we arrived the temperature was in the low 70s with a soft breeze coming in from the pacific it didn t take long for us to shake off the desert heat and settle in we had a catfish fry for dinner catfish fry we have camped at fiddler s cove at least five times previously and have completed most of the tourist things in and around the san diego area so we felt no urge to move around much sailboats were racing throughout coronado bay picture at top and provided some entertainment while we read books from our perch just above the water let s sit for a spell helen and i enjoy visiting some of the many piers along the southern california coast the imperial beach pier is about 10 miles south of the campground and is a place we visited one afternoon again the weather was delightful but the crowd was light fishermen along the pier rail were in a school of small fish and stayed busy pulling them in helen tried to befriend a large pelican but he just wasn t into it the locals kept throwing their fish at him and he needed to concentrate the beach across the highway from the campground gave us an opportunity to get some exercise walking and we took advantage shore birds gave us some company the flowers just off the shore were in full bloom beach walking coronado farmer s market coronado hosts a farmer s market on tuesdays in the summer and lured us in we picked out six nice looking ears of peaches and cream corn to take back to gracey fifth wheel we picked up a few ripe tomatoes as well for our one night out helen and i drove to the other end of the island to coronado brewing company for dinner and a sampling from their large selection of craft beer we like to sit at the bar in pubs like this one and chat with the locals we met a young man named ben who peppered us with questions about the rv lifestyle his parents were newly retired and needed something to fill their time besides golf we gave him our best we also met a fellow named bill a regular customer and a coronado native he described coronado as mayberry for the wealthy it s an apt description coronado is clean quaint and charming navy ship prepped for nascar race during our time in coronado the navy moved a large ship into north island naval air station to serve as a grandstand and broadcast booth for a nascar race being held over father s day weekend i wished we had tickets but this small island was filling up fast with cars 18 wheelers and people i ll have to watch it on television speaking of watching every evening the sky over coronado would put on a stunning display of color during the twilight hours i had to share our campsite was perfectly positioned to view the san diego skyline at night i waited six nights for the winds to die down enough to capture a bit of skyline reflection on the water picture below i didn t have that opportunity again the water was always too choppy coronado after dark it s time for my nap and i feel certain i have lulled you to sleep as well so i m going to sign off we will be in seal beach ca next to watch our grandson play volleyball i m excited and we re easin along easin along easin along posts navigation older posts subscribe to easin along via email
