Mt. Gilead Project Completed
Our last week in camp was spent by the men building and painting eight redwood boxes to house the cabin electrical breaker boxes and constructing redwood forms for concrete slabs thoroughout the complex. The women worked on a bulk mailing project and made candy in the camp kitchen.
Thursday, October 24 the camp staff fixed us a great lunch and "thank you" cake as a farwell along with some going away gifts. We truly enjoyed spending this month in Sonoma County not only visiting life-long friends but also serving on project at the camp too. If the opportunity to serve at Mt. Gilead ever comes up again in the future, we are definitely signing up to come back.
Friday morning, October 25 we left around 9:30 AM and planned on traveling to the Harris Ranch to "overnight" in their parking lot but we could find a place to park so we continued south on Interstate 5 ultimately to Lancaster, California to the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds for the night. I broke my normal driving rule limit of no more than four hours on the road on any driving day. We went seven and a half hours on this leg and arrived in the dark. We both slept soundly that night.
The long day of driving only left us with a two and a half hour trip on Saturday to the Jojoba Hills SKP RV Resort just outside of Temecula in Aguanga, California. This is a beautiful Co-op Escapees park we have wanted to check out as a possible long-term option for the future. We've booked eight days to stay and get a feel for the community and the facilities.
