California - San Dimas and Bakersfield

From Desert Hot Springs we went to San Dimas, about 40 minutes from Sydney and Evan’s house in Pasadena. We spent a day with them being tourists on Hollywood Blvd to sightsee the Walk of Fame and Grauman’s Chinese Theater. For lunch we went to a taco place in Silverlake; their old neighborhood in Los Angeles. In the evening we went to a comedy show at a local spot that Evan has photographed. The next night Sydney joined us for dinner on the RV. The campground we stayed at was located on Bonelli Bluff and it had a very pretty view.
Next we went to Bakersfield for 2 nights with the intent to hike Sequoia National Forest. Kevin obtained a consulting opportunity and worked in the morning so instead of hiking we found a bike trail. Unfortunately that turned out to be a fail, the view was not pretty and large black bugs frequently hit us in the face. On the positive side we had a nice end site with a lot of grass that Pepper enjoyed laying on and soaking up the sun and sights.Read more
