On January 6th we left Santa Paula and went to the Thousand Trails Wilderness Lakes for three weeks in Menifee, Ca. Not quite sure why it's called Wilderness Lakes because it's neither in the wilderness nor are there any lakes here.

What there are here is canals through the campground! This is a photo out of our back window.

The mattresses in trailers are usually not very good. To help ours we had bought a memory foam topper. Our 5th wheel is 3 1/2 years old now and the bed has been sagging because of the cheap mattress. We have been considering purchasing a new one. Sams Club had this Sealy Perfect Sleeper one which is normally a good price at $600.00 on sale for $400.00. We decided it was time upgrade. It is just the way we like it, firm with a plush top and built in memory foam.

There are a lot of birds at Wilderness. Ducks, Geese, Herons and Cranes!

We have had the new truck for about six months now. It is truly a beast and we are very happy how it tows our 5th wheel! It is what we should have alway had, but God had it all in control. That we know!

We drove to Oceanside to check out the pier and also the Surfers museum.

There were a lot of people fishing off of the pier. The pelicans were trying to steal a few morsels for themselves.

Just a few blocks from the pier was the surfing museum, The one on the left belonged to Duke Kahanamoku in the early 1900's.

This board is the surfboard that Bethany Hamilton was riding when she was attacked by the shark in Hawaii. She lost her arm but continued to surf within a few weeks winning competitions. She is a wonderful Christian women that the movie Soul Surfer was based on.

The shark was ultimately caught that bit Bethany. This is the jawbone of the shark.

We really like the Menifee area. It is near Perris, Lake Elsinore, Temecula, Hemet and Murrieta, Ca.
That's it for today,
God Bless,
Love you all,
