Karen Duquette took these
photos through the closed window of the moving RV (thus the glare) somewhere
on the way from Three Rivers, California to El Portal, California - April
30, 2009.
ABOVE: Two of many paintings
that were along the highway. Karen Duquette could not get a good shot
of most of them, but thought they were different, interesting and of course
patriotic.
ABOVE and BELOW: A farm
building with a great USA paint job
Below: A WATER TOWER SHAPED LIKE
A TEA KETTLE
Below: The
City of Mariposa - just before the mountain to El Portal.
IF
YOU DRIVE A RV, YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS: The two RV Gypsies had to unhitch
their tow car from the motorhome before they could drive up the mountain
because vehicles over 45 feet are NOT allowed and there is a $270 fine.
The RV of the two RV Gypsies is 40 feet and with the hitch and car, they
were 60 feet long. They had trouble finding a spot big enough and flat
enough to unhitch the car, but finally managed to do so. They were not
aware of this situation ahead of time and that is why they posted this
IMPORTANT notice for other RVers.BELOW: Two narrow bridges
that Lee Duquette had to drive the motorhome through. They were both one-way bridges
so they had to wait at a traffic light about 15 minutes for
the clearance to drive across the bridge. This part was not so much fun.

CORNERS ON A NARROW MOUNTAIN ROAD THAT HAD TO BE MANEUVERED - IN THE RAIN
- GOOD JOB LEE!
Behind the two RV Gypsies' RV there was just enough room for a person to walk. RVs were parked back to back. Plus there was only one-inch of space between their slide-out and a wall.
Below: Not too much room
between the slide out and the tree. No room to put the awning out either.
Below: The campsite of
the two RV Gypsies as seen from the road and as seen from the front of
the site.
Below: A nice view from outside
the RV, but when looking out the window of the RV, there was a small tree
that blocked the view. Wish we could have cut the small tree down, but
of course that was not possible.
