We spent the weekend in Oak Glen, prime apple orchard country here in Southern California, and although it was a tad warm (our A/C stayed on the entire weekend), we had a great time. Our primary purpose for the trip was to visit some of the many apple orchards in Oak Glen, buy as many apple products as struck our fancy, and enjoy a picnic on the grounds of picturesque Los Rios apple orchard.
I can report that we came, we saw, and we ate. This trip was actually very low key as our trips normally go. We visited with friends, we enjoyed our very spacious campsite and it's mountain views, and we had a lovely day visiting the apple lovin' town of Oak Glen.
The cost of the weekend was also very low, one of the more obvious and enjoyable advantages of taking trips in our RV:
- Yucaipa Regional Park water/electric/sewer site: $35 x 2 nights: $70
- Gas: $25
- Food: No change from what we'd spend if at home
- Oak Glen purchases: Whole apple pie, 5 pounds of Fuji U-pick apples, and two freshly made, hot, apple doughnuts: $20
- TOTAL FOR TRIP: $115

| Our site was huge, with our closest neighbors a good 1/2 block away. We enjoyed lovely mountain views as well. |

| Picking Fuji apples right off the tree. I know, old hat to many of you, but very exciting to a gal from the suburbs! |

| Pressing cider the old fashioned way. |

| How could we resist? |

Just-pressed apple cider being poured into a jug . . . about as fresh as you can get.

When I think of apples I think of the area around Yakima in Washington state. Thanks for another possible stop on our next RV trip. It looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many wonderful places to visit, aren't there? Right now it seems like my suitcase is becoming a permanent part of my bedroom decor . . . it's either waiting to be packed, or to be unpacked!
DeleteYum! Hot apple doughnuts. 'nuff said.
ReplyDeleteYup. :-)
