We moved to Oasis Palms RV Park in Thermal, CA. It was another tough day of driving, 22.1 miles (6,135.6 trip/65,616.7 total). We were talking as we were headed down highway 86 when I saw the park and hit the brakes. We nearly missed the park because we forgot just how close it was.

We wanted 50 amp electrical which meant we had to choose one of the nice pull-through sites. We are so close to the orange trees we can literally pick oranges just by opening the window! The oranges are not quite at their peak, but they were pretty good (maybe they would be good for some fresh squeezed OJ). There are also lemon trees, a few grapefruit trees and some tangerine trees. I tried the tangerines - very tasty. I also picked a ruby red grapefruit, but have yet to try it.





At about 4:30, I walked over to the community fire pit where they already had a nice blaze going. As soon as the sun set, the fire was a necessity as the nighttime temperatures dropped into the high 40s. I met a lot of very nice campground residents around the fire and look forward to spending New Year's Eve here with them.
