November 29, Wilderness Lakes Resort, Menifee CA

We left Valencia Village about 9 am, hoping rush hour traffic had eased up. It wasn't far to I-5 and we were also looking for a gas station. Didn't find one as we eased down 5 to 210. Then headed east. You really have to watch the signs and the crazy drivers. We went almost to 215 before we found a Valero to fuel up at. 3.79/gal ouch!!! Made it onto 215 south and got to Wilderness Lakes Resort mid afternoon. However we got lost after coming off the freeway. We were following directions from their web site and couldn't find the road to turn on. So after we got to Hemet, we called for directions. Sure enough, they built a housing development and Briggs road is not there anymore. So we turned around and found our way to the resort with the new directions. Wouldn't you know it is right behind a huge holstein dairy. This resort also has a pond and several lagoons throughout the park with ducks and geese. Did we tell you that flies are a problem here?!!! The odor when the wind is from the north is one that cleans out your sinuses... reminds me of our dairy in days gone by.

The sunset out our window around 5 pm.
