Where are we today ?
Cherry Valley Lakes Resort, Beaumont California
Then we went for a nice short country drive to Oak Glen California and wandered about Oak Tree Village. Maybe too early when we got there at 10 am. It was pretty quite. But it was a scenic drive up to an elevation of 5,200 feet. We did a nice walkabout and enjoyed this tourist area, glad there was no crowds this early in the morning .
As the usual we are up early, watched Canada win the gold metal in hockey as we expected, and it was an amazing game!!
Then shortly after 8 am whipped over to the clubhouse for a fresh baked cinnamon roll and orange juice only a buck, good deal!

We were kinda disappointed with the village but still have nice scenic drive into the ,mountains here. Guess we were off season.
Soon back home we had tooo much fun. A bite for lunch and enjoy our books in the shade.

Picked up a nice pork shoulder picnic roast for .99 cents lb so gonna slow cook and smoke it on our Weber Q. Trivet, apple wood chips, low and slow, 4 hours and it was done to perfection!
The sweet potatoes done on our Q too. Sweet Potatoes and Apples on the grill click HERE or check my recipe blog, Last couple minutes grilled the fresh asparagus and we had a feast!

That mile high pie sure looks tempting.
ReplyDeleteThat is one very high pie, too much for us.
DeleteBut not as yummy as your dinner! I love the scenic rides...
ReplyDeleteGlad you did exactly what you wanted to do....life is grand, eh?
Scenic rides are fun al ways enjoy exploring new places.
DeleteA little too quiet I guess - not a big fan of those road signs - you know - curves….. awesome looking meal - I continue to be jealous by your weber savvy George.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa, the road was a nice drive in the car, not so much in the motorhome.
DeleteThe Weber is an amazing grill, it does the cooking for you.
I love those curves while driving the Miata, but do not like them when in the motorhome! Your dinner looks wonderful, especially the potato and asparagus.
ReplyDeleteThe this road is not for a motorhome, but fun in a small car. Dinner was very yummy.
DeleteIt was a Sunday, too. I'm not sure, but the village probably doesn't open until about 11:00? Yes, this is their off season. They are crowded in the fall. Beautiful country, though...glad you got to visit it. We take the grandson up there often.

Signs say they open at 10:00 but like you said it is their off season, pretty quiet, but we did enjoy the outing.
DeleteI'm with Nan. Don't much liking mountain curves in the motorhome.
ReplyDeleteEvery time you show a picture of your asparagus, I get the hungries for some and you've done it again!!
Mountains and motorhomes are nice separately but not together.
DeleteGotta love asparagus, especially when we can get it almost year round here.
Your parting comment is the best... doing what you want to do at the pace you want to do it... life is so good!
ReplyDeleteThis is the lifestyle that some people only dream about, we are living our dream.
DeleteGlad that you had a great day. We love the mountains, there is always some spectacular scenery and usually some great hikes.

Yes there was a few hiking trails around too. Ee just enjoyed hiking about the village in the peace and quiet.
DeleteAnother good day in the 'Awesome Travels" log book.
ReplyDeleteYes it sure was another good day for us.
DeleteToo bad it wasn't a little more exciting in the village. However, being able to wander around without the crowds would make me happy. A nice little jaunt with the rest of your day just like you want it.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to wander about with no crowds, we enjoyed the fresh air and peaceful day.
DeleteLooks like both of us had the same ideas for our Weber Q's yesterday! I've been to Oak Glen before so I'm wondering how in the world I ever missed that 'mile-high apple pie'!!
ReplyDeleteIt sure was an impressive looking pie, am sure you would have picked one up.
DeleteAlways nice to take a scenic drive and see a different corner of the country.
ReplyDeleteIt was very nice.
DeleteLove the little day trips without the motorhome. Sometimes we're lucky and score a favorite something and other times we just get a nice drive.
ReplyDeleteThe day trips are are great we love them!
