But not without some excitement.
First off after breakfast we went to California fruit depot which was nearby. They have a variety of products and we bought some valencia oranges, fresh sqeezed orange juice and some dates. Oranges are wonderfully sweet.
In doing our pre-departure check I discovered the electric brakes in Jeep were not working. When I apply brakes in the coach it tells the unit in jeep to apply them as well. They are designed to cut off after 15 seconds so that you do not ruin the car brakes. In investigating it seems I blew a 20amp fuse to the unit. Not really surprised as we had some long, steep grades to climb and go down. Wanted to stop and top off tanks so easy enough to buy some fuses. Luckily that fixed the problem for now.
The drive up 99 from Bakersfield to Three rivers would never be called scenic. The air was bad and far from clear. We passed a lot of citrus groves, nut orchards, and row crops, even a feed lot or two. Mile after mile of that but overall scenery was drab.

Depending on weather and how we feel, tomorrow brings two National Parks, Sequoia and Kings Canyon. Was snowing up there today and high for tomorrow is 47. A far cry from the 95 of Vegas.
