Ventura Ranch KOA Holiday RV Park

What a wonderful park. The staff were terrific when I arrived. I’ve only had this 29M Thor Hurricane Motorhome this year.  It’s challenging. I’ve got lost and turned around once coming from the Palm Springs Joshua Tree KOA.  Merging onto the I5 for a bit was very exciting moving across 4 lanes .  I was doing 70 in 12 lanes in Pasadena. This one time I almost smunched the guy beside me but he accelerated past me at the speed of light. He was glad to have a fast car that day. I also thought that other drivers were doing their best to stay alive. I was only honked at once.  So coming into a campground is for me like the starship landing back on earth. Each passage gets easier in the steep learning curve.
The best part about this campground was the Peacocks.  Suddenly there they were.  I was surrounded by them setting up. Setting up was easier too.  I napped. I’m getting over a flu and wasn’t sure I’d be able to do the three hours of driving and concentration. It worked just fine but I was really tired and last night was up at 2 am unable to sleep and feeling sick.  I’m heading north. Coming south is easier going into the warm weather . Now it’s back to barn and lots of anxiety .  The KOA ‘s have been reassuring.
Today was an amazingly restful day. It started with my Saturday morning on line meeting. Then I walked Madigan up to the office. They have propane but I’d have to drive over there.  I’m low but expect. To make another night fine. The nights are chilly and I’m using electric space heaters.  I bought peacock gifts. 
After that we had a delightful walk around the activity area. They have zip gliding.  Bouncing places. Tent and wagon sites. Madigan and I walked for a mile or two along the trails near the swift little stream..More peacocks when when we came back to our site.  Another nap.  It’s quiet and peaceful and such a great nature site for all us in Birch inRV’s   The camping sites were further in.  I love it. 
 I actually did some work on the computer. Couldn’t talke to anyone , my throat still sore but I was able to text and renew prescriptions.  I feel I’m mending. It’s the right direction.  I am so thankful to be alive in this beautiful place with this great Thor Hurricane home.  Madigan thinks it’s all a lark.  
Thank you Jesus.
