Turtle Beach Resort, Manteca, CA

We left Sierra Trails in Mojave late in the morning (surprise, surprise) and had a long drive ahead of us.


It was very pretty traveling through Tehachapi Pass and the windmill farms. A couple of gusts tugged at the coach to make us understand the high wind warnings and the frenzied action of the windmills.


Still, it's fascinating being surrounded with these mechanical wonders.


After a few miles of thumping along on old Highway 99 north of Bakersfield, we gave up and cut across to I-5. From there it was a straight shot north to just south of Stockton.


We are in Manteca, California at the Turtle Beach Resort on the San Joaquin River. The park is green and pretty and we have seen quite a few people fishing. But for us, after driving almost 300 miles, we are ready for a day of rest and recreation.

Not sure where our next stop will be, but it will definitely be north of here.
