Today we cleaned up the cabin and headed out.  A big thanks goes out to the Bernards families (Jr. and Sr.) for their generosity in allowing our big family to use the cabin and the boat.

After we left the cabin, we went after a geocache.  Success! (even through Lucy’s whining).  Then we stopped at the Hungry Hut and experienced the truism that Jeff had said earlier in the trip.  “Its not that great, but it is the one in town”.  The kids had ordered chicken strips and they were raw more than half way through.  Who can say ‘salmonella’?  The supervising lady was also kind of brusque.  “Its not that great, but it is the one in town”.  So true.

We stopped in Bakersfield for a McDonald’s break.  I whipped out the GPS to see if there were any close caches.  One was across a parking lot less than 500 feet away.  Toby and Lucy gave up about half way due to the heat.  They waited in the shade of a parking lot tree while Max and I soldiered on.  Success!

Home in the evening and with the kids helping it was easy to unpack the car.  A great long weekend.
