Thursday, 2/19 - Back to Thousand Trails

Today we moved back to a Thousand Trails park - this time to Wilderness Lakes. This will be our 30th night in Thousand Trails parks, so considering the annual dues + our family courtesy card (less than $500/year), our nightly rate is down to about $16/night - which is really cheap. From now on, each night we stay just serves to make the nightly rate less. We're enjoying using the membership that Pop and Peggy bought so many years ago!

On our way, we stopped at Sonic for a late breakfast - we ended up driving through a bit of Corona to get there, but when we found the Sonic, it was quite different for a Sonic, with a large inside/outside eating area.

An eating counter that is outside but looking into the order area inside the building at the Sonic in Corona.

The lady who took my order said that it had previously been a Carls Jr, but that she thought they might be making more of this type of Sonic so people could sit down to eat in areas where the weather would be auspicious (like southern California).

We have traveled to Menifee to stay in Wilderness Lakes Thousand Trails. It is a nice park with canals/lakes running through it so many of the sites are on water. It is very crowded, but we were able to find a site on a lake.

It is really pleasant here! It was hot when we first parked, but in the shade and with the breeze, it is very comfortable. The geese are rather noisy at times (one of our park neighbors walked by and told us that we needed to keep "our" geese quiet, that he would give us one warning and then report us to the camp authorities!) - some people seem to feed them and the whole crowd will go zooming over to where the food is being provided.

This park is hard to get into - I had to look over a long period of time to find some days that we could get in a row. If we are coming back here next year, I'll need to try to get a reservation just as soon as we are allowed (I think 90 days out - I need to research that).
