Wilderness Lakes in Menifee, CA is by far one of the most popular parks in southern California for full time RVers, snow-birds and locals as well. The park is wall to wall families in the summer time. We spent quite a few weeks here this year and would gladly have spent the entire summer here except our membership only allows us to stay two weeks at a time. We can return to the park after a weeks absence.....so that is exactly what we did... spending our off weeks between Pio Pico and Mountain Lakes.
We returned from our 16 day European cruise on August 2nd and spent the night in the RV on our storage site. We were dog tired after a day of flying across the country; moving the rig anywhere that night was not something we were physically capable of. All I can say is we sure were grateful for the RV's portable water supply and being on a storage site with electricity. The next morning we were up and early and located a spot for the rig not far from our storage site. In a little over one hour we were set up and on the road to Murietta Hot Springs to retrieve Susan J. from All Creatures Great and Small ....boarding facility. Susan J. sure was happy to see us. She followed us around for a week demanding lots of lap time, stroking and attention. She is a creature of habit and it didn't take her long to get back into her old routines; breakfast at 4:30 AM, lap time with dad, then at least a half hour sitting outside the rig on the entrance carpet...(she never goes much further than that). She didn't even forget about eating her treats from her plate on the dining table...bedtime is a whole story in itself!
The four weeks we spent here were filled with days of swimming, crafting, setting up our tables for the parks weekend swap meets...we sold out of jam and were able to sell some unwanted items we had been storing...like our old style TV...We also took time to work our own exercise programs...Bill bought a bike and began riding to various geo cashing sites early in the morning while I tried to work my butt off on the treadmill and exercise bike. We also found time to pay a few visits to the local casinos making our contribution to the local economy...We didn't get to play our favorite game...candy bar bingo once during this stay...oh well..we will be back!
