Jan 11th - Alameda County Fairgrounds

We arrived at the Alameda Country Fairgrounds at 1 PM today. It didn't take long to get parked and hooked up.

We didn't know it when we decided to try this place that there was an RV show going on. In the afternoon we walked over went through it. Today was Senior Citizen's day and two got in for the price of one. We had hoped to find a couple of places that did work on RV awnings. One guy said that they install/replace awnings, along with a lot of other RV work. There actual place of business is quite a ways south of here but I will probably call them to get a quote.

It was nice here today, high in the 70's and sunny. It was easily warm enough for shorts and a short sleeve shirt. Tonight it is supposed to get down to freezing. Tomorrow's high is supposed to be 65.

I don't know why but it seems that both are vehicles are getting better fuel economy. The CRV mileage has increased from around 24 back east to 27 or 28 out here. The RV mileage has increased from 7.9 to 8.6 on the last two fill-ups. The CAT engine must like climbing mountains. Yesterday one of the grades we climbed was long and steep. We feel a lot better about the ability to handle mountain grades now. Our speed was only 35 climbing the grade but the RV maintained that speed quite easily. We enough semi's to know that the grade was a difficult one to climb.

Good night to all and may God bless you and yours.
