Today is much better then yesterday.

We took Ackbar to “Garza Tire and Wheel” in Winton, CA and about 90 minutes later we had a new tire and they even repaired the exhaust pipe damage.

Good people, friendly, professional and fast.

$472 got us a new tire, fixed exhaust pipe’s and labor.

The RV park is located next door to the museum.

4001 Hospital Rd Atwater, CA

If you are concerned with “looks” of the park this is not the place for you.

If you love Air Craft, being close to three National Park’s, and have no issue parking in a parking lot (6 sites have full hookups) this is a perfect place. The host have been here for 16+ years. They are friendly and helpful.

We have also seen and heard MANY bird’s yesterday and last night, it was wonderful to just listen to them. Currently it’s too windy to hear much but the wind and the winds are causing a dust storm out there and according to the weather it will be like this for 2 more days, so we will stay 4 nights instead of the planned 3 so we can visit the museum when the wind dies out.

They have a B-36!!! I can see it from my window! SOOOO CLOSE TO ME!

We are about 90 mins from Yosemite National Park which we will see tomorrow. (SO EXCITED!)

Location wise, this is in a great area for a home base. While we will go to the local sports bar tonight for the NCAA Final’s I am not seeing much else in the local area, but again, it would be a perfect home base as it is 2 hours or less drive from three National Parks.

It was quite last night. We saw stars. We heard a owl. We heard birds singing last night and this morning. We have a good parking spot. We have met many nice people.

What else is there?
