This has been a str ange and interesting stop along our journey to Las Vegas. We arrived at the Orange Grove Park in Bakersfield on a gorgeous day..full of sunshine and surrounded by orange trees, and the opportunity to eat a fresh-picked one at that! Yesterday we had a nice morning, and then the rain started..and it rained and rained. But the rain seems to have been only right here in the Valley, and on either side of us it seems it was sleet, ice and snow...and by last night our highway (CA58) was closed going both directions. On our drive home from an evening of dinner and dancing at Buck Owens' Crystal Palace, there were miles of parked trucks who could NOT head east as the highway was closed. This morning the line of trucks and cars filled all 3 lanes, totally blocking 58E for miles...and I have no idea how far that line extended. The picture cannot begin to tell the story. So here we are--spending another night in the orange grove, with a gorgeous sunny day behind us, and yet somewhere the ice and snow is wreaking havoc.
Does it go without saying that we had a great time at Buck Owens?
