Tapo Canyon County Campground - Nov. 19th thru 27th




 

The whole idea of getting down this way and staying here was so that we could spend Thanksgiving with Brian and Bryanna.  They live in Altadena, and the closest place I’ve ever found to stay in an RV is Simi Valley. 

So, when we arrived there were 2 or 3 giant motorhomes and a couple other trailers and 5th wheels.  We met the hosts who were very nice and directed us to our spot.  We got set up and made a short trip into town for a few things.

Next day we went to see B&B.  Bryanna looks great!  She is just into her 3rd trimester now. If you missed the news, they are having a girl.  YEA!  Oh and Brian looks good too.  They have done an incredible job of improving their curb appeal by installing a new irrigation system and front lawn.  It looks great.  They made dinner that night and we talked and caught up.

We spent a couple nights with them during the first part of the week and then on Thanksgiving morning we went with them to “our” first turkey trot!  As many of you know I’m not a runner!  But was inspired by my 6 month pregnant daughterinlaw, to do it.  If she can do it…..  I can do it, right?  PLUS I got the T shirt!
 
 

 
 
 
 


Thanksgiving dinner was terrific.  We ate outside as is their tradition, with their good friends David and Dannielle and their little girl Haley.
 
 
 


Friday after thanksgiving was a catch up day for us, catch up cleaning, doing laundry, etc.  And then in the afternoon B&B came over to camp to have dinner with us and check out the fully lived in TTT.

Saturday was a restful morning, then I cleaned up and packed the outside stuff because we were going to check out on Sunday morning and it looked like a bit of rain was coming our way.  Which it did, and it got much colder.  We hitched up Sunday am and left for our next destination which was Disneyland!  Actually we are parked at the Anaheim RV Park right around the corner from Disneyland.

 

Site review:

16 full hook up spaces, no cable TV, and NO 4G lte.  but easy back in level concrete pads, picnic tables and fire rings.  This is a county park and there is a day use area with a large lawn and kiddy playground.  $32.00 per nite.

As I said earlier we looked for a closer spot to park and actually drove by one called Balboa RV Park.  Don’t bother even looking at this one.  It’s way too tight, and full of long term residents.  I swear they must put your trailer in with a forklift and you are literally only 4 ft. from your neighbors.

For us Tapo Canyon was a perfect place to stay, it’s just up the road from Simi Valley, its safe, close to shopping and attractions.  But it was a 40 mi drive into B&B’s house.
 
 
 
 


Next time we’ll talk about the Disneyland adventure... J
