Day 7 - Salton Sea

We went visit Salton City today. The city is about 25 miles away.
Try to go to Font point, but I felt too sandy and turned around after a mile. We stopped by Calcite trail head to talked to a friendly guy Burney from SF driving a small Ford truck with camper. He told us we could drive down the little canyon road down below to start the hike. He just hike the Calcite and the neighboring slot in the morning only took 4 miles in about 3 hours. We went on to Salton City. The city tried to build and sell new house, but I still saw a lot of empty lot. Seem liked the bad economy caused what happen. Stopped by the shoreline of Salton Sea. The water looked very dirty and little smelly. But water was much clear on the other side of the jetty. We went to a new casino 5 miles away to check out overnight camping and dumping. Look good except there is a little slope on the RV lot. Mel stopped by the little market to get some groceries. One of them was being built on the corner of S2 and 86.

Tom and Mel took their showers in the pay shower – one quarter for 2 minutes. Also had the 2 gallons tank for additional time but not working very good. Mine was too hot. We add more fresh water to our tank. I linked up the trailer and moved 7 miles out to Pegleg Monument. We bought 4 gallons of water in water machine outside an empty store. We did not go anywhere for the day. Lawrence and me dig a hole 18 inches deep to drain off some used water.



Here are some cat pictures

Day 5 - To Algodones, Mexico

We had bacon, eggs and bread again for breakfast. Tom wanted to go hiking again, but Melanie and Lawrence were too tired to go, so Tom decided to go to Mexicali to buy HBP pills. We used highway 78. On the way there we were hungry so we stop by the Sonic in El Centro for lunch. We found out that they cost a lot to buy a 10mg with 100 tabs, cost $22.99 a bottle. Tom walked around the street and looking for a bwtter price, but they were all the same, either they didn’t have it or about the same high price. And the expiration date was too short also. So Tom decided to go to Algodones. But Tom had to drive fast to get there, because it was already 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon. By the time we were there it was past 6 p.m. Most stores were already closed, because today was Sunday, and they closed at 4:00 p.m. Only few stores ware open late, we found one store name Grupo Lizuis on the corner was still open, they didn’t close until 10 p.m. It only cost $13.44 for two 100 mg bottles and I bought a hair color for only $3.61 each. Tom bought another bottle at another store for $9.80. After that we drove to Yuma El Pollo Loco for dinner which was same as last year. We went to get some gas. It was verycheap at $1.59/gallon. On the way back we stopped by Walmart in Brawley, and I bought Chips Ahoy, Donuts, Orange Juice. We went back to our site very late past 11:15 p.m. It was too late to start the generator. We couldn’t turn on the heater for the night. We had to sleep in cold that night.

Day 4 - Hiked to Palm Canyon - Anza-Borrege SP

In the morning, me and Mel filled up the fresh tank again with a cutoff bucket and our modified funnel.

We went to check out the museum in Anza-Borrego SP. The back of the building is built into the landscape as you could in the pictures.



This is Lawrence typing the honest and original account of the day at Anza Borrego. I (That’s me) got up and Honorable father Tom and loveable mother Melanie were already woke up. Even the slightly overweight house cat, Odie was already up too.


Had the Breakfast of ham, egg, and bacon. To me it was bland and unoriginal. Pretty soon Tom had convinced us to go to the three-mile trail called the Palm Canyon Trail.



Could you find me in this picture.





I was not intersted to go, but I still went there anyway. At first, there was a trail, but in the middle you go your own way. I went the hard way and Melanie and Tom went the easy way. In the hard way I had to step across stones and slide down rock and ran through the cactus. Fortunately I had a jacket so I didn’t get hurt, but in the end I put my palm to a log and get spiked. It hurt very, very bad. Pain for 15 minutes.

So at the oasis I eat tangerines and we start our way back. When I got back Melaine and Tom went to Central Market to buy pork steak and apple pie for dinner.

Day 3 - Arrived at Anza-Borrego SP

Next morning we got up and went to Walmart to get the RV battery case. Luckily, they only had one left. I also bought some Hi-C drink for Lawrence they were on sale for $1.50. Then we want to eat breakfast at McDonald inside Walmart, but it was too small and no table for us. Also they don’t have computer plug in. We went outside and looking for another place for breakfast, we found Burger King. But they didn’t have plug in either. We only drink coffee, ordered hash-brown for Lawrence. Then we went to Food4Less for groceries, we got white corns 3 for $0.99, but the cashier only count for 3 corns instead of 9 corns. We used state highway 78 past through Julian which was very traffic congested. We reached Anza Borrego Desert State Park around 3 p.m. The site was $20 a night with no hook-up.

We slept there for 3 night, but it did not have hot water to wash dishes. Showers was$ 0.25 for 2 minute a little distance across in the other side of the loop. We filled our fresh tank with our water hose with the public faucet on the site next to us. We all had hot showers in our trailer that night except I was the last person and ran out of water in the end.

Day 2

We get up in the morning and fill up all our 20 lb propane tanks. At first we plan to go to LA to have Dim Sum, but we did not get up early enough, we get up at 11am. So we did not get any Dim Sum. Tom wanted to go to Camping World in Santa Clarita, but today was Christmas day, all stores closed except chinese store. We went to San Gabriel/Valley mall to have chicken rice for Tom, and some dim sum.

The custard was good cost $1.50 for 3 pieces. The skin duck eggs cake was very good too cost $1.39 for 2 piece. Drove highway 10 then 71 & 91 state highway and then to 15, we miss exit for highway 79, cause Lawrence was sleeping. No one was checking the road for Tom. We already pass the Temacula. It is a very small town. I saw a Super Walmart before Temacula, but it was too late by the time I saw it, we were already past the exit. So the next closed town was Escondido. First we wanted to go to Camping World to sleep for the night, but they have gate. Then Tom went to San Marcos Walmart to stay for the night and get battery box the next morning. It has a T-Moible store too with hotspot. We also connected to internet.

Day 1 - Trip to Ansa Borrego Springs




We went to Chi shop around 11 a.m., cause Chi told Tom that he will be leaving soon. Tom found out the vespel material was not thick enough. So we went to bank for cash and deposit Tom ktc paycheck. Then we went to library to return the book, after that we went back home and start loading the RV. We left the house in late afternoon, we stop by Gilroy Costco to get gas. We stopped at Lost Hills to get gas bypass the high priced 198/5 intersection. Lawrence estimated miles was wrong, he told Tom from Gilroy to Lost Hills was 190 miles, instead it was 160 miles.
We reached Flying J (Lebec) around 8:00 p.m. Tom said we should slept here tonight, cause the wind was blowing 30-40 miles per hour. Our RV battery cover was blown away by the wind. Tom used the plastic bag and rubber band to cover the battery and it worked until we got our battery box. Also we needed some propane, but Flying J worker told Tom we need to wait until daytime to fill propane tank. (Flying J gas was expensive at $1.97/per gallon due to bankruptcy filing). Across the road at Shell was $1.8 something.

Day 15 - Oregon trip (Sacramento)

I woke up early in the morning around 7:40 a.m. . I cleaned up the cat's box and fed them. Then Olivia opened the door and talked to me. I told her that I would be right inside. We had a long talk, then my son woke up and came inside the house. He was playing with Olivia two sons, their name are Brian and Jacky.

Brian was 15 years old after summer and would be 10th grade and Jacky was 12 and his birthday would be next week, after summer he would be attending 8th grade in school. By the time Tom woke up it was around 12:00 in the afternoon. Olivia told me that her father have a lot of fruit trees and asked if I wanted to go get some. I told her I would love to take some, so she drove me to his father house and he got me a lot of fruits and seeds for the food plants. Then we all went to Rice Bowl China restaurant in Florin Road for dim sum. Olivia forgot her purse, I told her not to worry I would pay it. When we drove back to her house, her husband Ben came back home. He just went to Mendicino to catch abalone; he got three abalones, which was the limit for the day. Olivia said they would give me one and told me how to clean and cook it.


Later on Olivia had to take both of her son for guitar lesson, she would be back around 6:00 0’clock. Before Ben went to take a shower, he asked us if we want to see a movie, which we did. Not too long later, Olivia took Jacky back home and told Ben that Brian was staying at his friend house. Around 7:30 Ben and Olivia took us to the Chinese resturant in Freeport Blvd for dinner.
We went back to her house and then Ben went picking up her older son. Olivia and I were both having a small talk while Lawrence, Jacky & Brian playing Wii game - Super Smash Bro Brawl. I looked at the clock and it was already 10:20 p.m. I knew they both had to work early tomorrow, so I told Olivia I better got going. We all said goodbye and good night then we headed back to our trailer. On the way home Odie and Ben Ben were both with us in the truck. Odie was kept moving around and mew for a long time, but we did not understand what he was trying to tell us. We though he want to go outside instead he needed to go to the bathroom. Next thing Odie was peeing on Lawrence head while my son was sleeping. So Tom has to stop the truck next to (Danville) Safeway parking lot. Lawrence went back to the trailer and took a shower. Also Tom took a short nap while my son were taking a shower. After that Tom woke up and head back to KTC. By the time we reached KTC it was already passed 1:00a.m. I was setting up the trailer bed and told my son to go to sleep. Then I helped Tom to unload the trailer.

When we woke up we start our truck and went to Safeway to get some gas. After gas we head east then north then west to arrive at Target in Dana. We ate in McDonald outdoor because of the cat was not allowed indoor. We then drove to the nearby Shasta Mall and saw a lot of classic car.

After that we head for highway 5 to Sacramento. We saw a Sonic Burger and Walmart few minute later next to Interstate 5 in Anderson. We stop for a while trying to get some Sonic food. But Mel did not like the way of ordering thru a mic while standing outside the store. We had the Air-cond on in the parking lot. It shut down for a while for some unknown reason after I used the water pump a bit. Mel also walk that Walmart a bit.

I told Tom that I wanted to visit Olivia. I wanted to take a shower, so we stop by one of the rest area (2 miles before city of Corning) which they have good location of water outlet on right hand side of the parking to fill up water. We all took a nice hot shower. One mile later TA gas station was closed by, few miles down was Rolling Casino we can stayed for the night. Three or four miles before Willow, there was a rest area which had a dump. At the last rest area, we decided to cook for dinner which was only 10-14 miles from Sacramento. I called Olivia again to tell her we would not be able to see her tonight caused it was already very late, we would see her tomorrow morning. By the time we got to her house we saw two trucks were parked next to her house so Tom decides to get some gas first. We stopped by the gas station next to the Bel Air parking lot for gas. Then Tom drove to Olivia house; it was already 12:40 a.m. Both trucks were already gone, so we were able to park our trailer in front of her house. Lawrence and I were sleepy and both went to bed early. Tom found a free wi-fi internet, he stayed up until 2:00 a.m. in the morning.

Later when we drove by Reedsport, I told Tom I forgot to buy some soda for tonight dinner. Tom took me the Safeway, which was next to Cash King. I told Tom I would like to buy some more chocolate from Cash King. Then I went to Safeway for soda, but I saw the price was too high; $1.89 for a bottle. I decided not to buy it. When Tom back up his truck, I saw there was a Thirty Store, we went inside and found a cat water bowl with lip inward, heart shape box to hold scented flower, which had a good smell to me, but smelled stinky to Tom.

After that we went back to our trailer and I started cooking for dinner and Tom went to finish his crabbing. When he came back he told me he only catch 2 crabs for which l is female which he put it back to the water.

The store lady name is Cody Lane, she was a very nice lady, and we have a long talk. I asked her how do the bee collect the honey, and do they have difference taste.

So we stop our trailer there and fill it up, Tom and I also went inside the office to go to the bathroom. On the way out I saw they have free coffee, so I get one for Tom and one for me.

We drove about 25 miles to Salmon Bay, at first we stopped by the parking space where we parked last year. The price was $11, which was $1 dollar more than last year. Then we walked over to the better scenery area, which cost $13 dollars. So we want to park our trailer here.


We met the Host name John. I asked him where is the dump, he told me it was at the end of the parking lot. It would be like a payback time and cost us $5 to dump. We parked our trailer at unit# C19 which had a very nice scenery. We wanted to stay there for 4 nights, but we want to pay for two days at a time.

Then Tom drove me to Reedsport 5 miles away to get some water in Price&Pride, which was outside the store. It cost $.25 cents for one gallon of water. Next Tom get some gas at the Shell gas station at $4.22 a gallon to fill up the 2-gallon jug. I asked Tom why didn’t we fill it up at $4.13 instead of $4.22. He told me we only need 2 gallons of gas not 20 gallons; there was not much difference. The guy filling our gas had one arm broken which was not easy for him to fill the jug without dropping the cap on the ground to get dirty.

We also cross the bridge across the river while there.

Day 5 - Oregon - lost cat

Early in the morning about 6 am. We heard cat streaming, Tom went outside and checked on both of our cats- Odie and Ben Ben. He saw the cage tilted open and both cats were gone. Tom went back to the trailer and told me both cats were missing. I went outside and called for Odie and Ben Ben, only Ben Ben ran back to the trailer. Odie was gone, Tom and I were walking around the site and looking for Odie. Tom talked to our neighbor - a father and son from Campbell CA sleeping in the back of a 1996 4 cylinder 4runner. It was a rare car, so we talked a long time about his modification to increae horsepower. After that, Tom ride around on the bicycle. He told a Host about our missing cat.

He went to the Reservations gate to tell the Ranger we need to stay one more day cause our cat was missing. Ranger told Tom there was a report that a Ranger saw a tan color cat near the Main Office at 7:00 a.m. Tom rent a site next next to our site and ride to main office to find our cat. Tom told Mel that the ranger will set up a trap for our cat.

We have to move from site B33 to B29. When Tom pull the trailer to B29, there was a woman asked me did she need to move her car, so our trailer will be able to back in to B29 parking space. Tom said is fine, next thing the lady told her husband to help us park the trailer. I told the lady my cat was missing early this moring that was why we have to stay one more day to look for our cat. I also show her and her husband my Odie picture from my cell phone.

Tom and I went to the Main Office and talk to lady name Cindy; she was very nice person, she help us set up a LOST CAT paper with our cat picture. Cindy also told me she is a cat lover, she owns four cats too, so she knows how I feel with my cat missing. Cindy gives me several copies for the Lost Cat paper, so I can post in the board next to the Reservations gate. We also post it in front of the bathroom of site A & B, but not C, since C is further from the main office where the ranger saw our cat.

We went to the dock to catch some more carbs plus the Main Office was next to it, so we walk around the place and called Odie. While we are crabing, there was lady ranger come over and tell us some one saw our cat, she told us to follow her. So we pick up all our things and follow her truck. She took us to the road next to the Main office. There was a lady stand next to a walking path telling me she think she saw our cat running across this walking path. Tom watch one end of the path and the lady and me walk around and calling Odie name but did not see him at all.

Then we went back to our trailer and Tom cleaning up the crabs. First the man across our site came over and ask Tom if we found our cat. Then his wife come over again and talk to me. She said did we find the cat yet, I told her we are still looking for our cat. I told her a ranger saw our cat closed to the main office road. She told me she and her husband want to take a walk to see if they can help us find our cat. During our dinner my cell ring, a ranger told me someone saw our cat next to the walking path next to the main office. After we heard that we stop our dinner and grab our flashlight ready to go out. At the same moment our neighbor couple knock on the door and told us they want to take us there. Because they saw Odie sitting on the walking path. They did not want to get too close to scare him off.

Four of us jump on to our truck and drove over there. We all calling Odie name. We were there for almost an hour still did not see our cat. Tom flashlight battery was low and want to drive back to get new battery. Her husband told me they have a better flashlight he will go back and get it for us. Next thing their car drove back and told us on the way back people in site A17 saw our cat. We follow their car there and look around a while with permission from the site. When our neighbor drove home, They saw our cat again around B16. We all went there and look around a bit more. Tom was spending all night looking for Odie. At around mid-night. Tom told Mel he heard Odie scratching next to trailer to try to get back in. But when Tom saw him, he went away into the bush. Not too long later, I heard a cat scream and a black cat was chasing Odie across to the bush in the back of the neighbor Class A. Around 3 a.m., Tom came to the trailer and wake me up, he told me he saw Odie, asked me to follow him. So I change my clothes and follow him with a bowl of cat food. We went to the bush behind the class A. Tom said Odie was not there anymore, but we still looking around the site and calling our cat. After several minutes we still did not see our cat, so I went back to the trailer and sleeping. Tom comes back around 5 a.m. in the morning and told me he could not find Odie, next thing (about 2 minutes later) I heard Odie calling outside our trailer, I told Tom to open the door and Odie walk right to us. Odie was very hungy and drink a lot of water too, we check on Odie he had a big stratch on his head.



After Odie finished eating, Tom wrote a note to say thanks for the flashlight and put it back in their floor next to their class A's step. Tom comes back to wash Odie and Ben Ben. Then he went to bed and sleep until 11:00 a.m. After Tom get up we start cleaning up the trailer and set up to leave.

After dinner, Odie was spraying pee on our flip down bed, so I had to clean it up. Tom soaked and washed the yellow sleeping bag and hanged it between 2 trees. Tom locked Odie under the table/bed, which I put food, water and sandbox in there too. Tom also set up the white wire cage next to the storage opening, which I bought it at Target for $14.99. So the cats could sit in the cage and looked outside.
