After we settled in Sunday night, we sat down to plan out our week and discovered the roads into Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks were closed due to flooding and road debris. Only one giant sequoia in Kings Canyon was accessible and the website warned of extremely long lines to get into the park to view it. So, we pivoted. Our week in Bakersfield was one of work and healthy habits.
Our campground for the week was situated in an old orange grove with active trees. We absolutely loved it! The oranges are fresh and delicious.

We took advantage of being situated for a whole week in nice weather to air out and clean the camper since the never-ending rain dragged in a lot of moisture and mud. We put baking soda on the carpets and thoroughly vacuumed. Our entryway rug got hosed down then a good scrubbing with some dish soap since we could finally leave it outside overnight to dry.

We went to Planet Fitness twice and Bryn erged twice. We cooked most of our meals and focused on fresh ingredients (and oranges!) all week. The campground facilities were really nice. They even had a small fitness room! We did laundry twice to start our week in LA extra fresh and clean.
Friday morning we picked extra oranges and cleaned out the camper. Percy's space got a total refresh as we threw out his cat scratchers, chewed sticks, etc., and sprinkled baking soda over the carpet. We let it sit during our drive to San Bernadino and vacuumed it up when we set up camp later. Once settled, Shawn ran on the trail near our new campground. Later, we popped out to Target for some groceries and a new cat scratcher for Percy. We returned an Amazon order and decided to go to an asian buffet for dinner since we were both hungry.
We felt very good about our healthy and productive week, and we were excited to explore LA and Joshua Tree over the weekend.
