Day 7 - Oakhurst


9:45 am to 2:45 pm
134 miles
198W, 201W, 63N, 180W, 145S, 41N
High Sierra RV Park


We decided to go to Oakhurst today and had Google take us there avoiding highways.  We had quite a meandering back and forth through the Central Valley.  The Central Valley supplies one quarter of the food Americans eat and produces more than 17 million gallons of wine each year.  

There were so many trees and plants that we couldn’t identify – we continued to see the massive orange and lemon groves. Here are some examples of what we saw today.







Once we got close to Oakhurst it was plain to see that spring has not come here yet.  A little cool and trees don’t yet have any buds.  We are at an elevation of 2,274 feet.  

We did get a terrific campsite beside the Fresno River and had a nice campfire.  Rain is supposed to come in overnight and last through tomorrow morning.  We will be heading west and south to hopefully warmer weather but want to keep to the Central Valley as we don’t know much about it.
