| Cornville, AZ | 04/15/11- 04/29/11 | SRA-Page Springs Park | ROD park was very small, not easy for a big rig to move around, no sewer, and rude and impolite management, but fantastic bird refuge across the street and beautiful creek next to the park. | |

| Morgan Hill, CA | 11/17/11-12/1/11 | TT- Morgan Hill | This Thousand Trails park is in a beautiful setting, but is poorly maintained. Power was awful.

We won't return if we can avoid it. | |
| Isleton, CA | 12/1/11 - 12/22/11 | Delta Shores RV Resort & Marina | Google Maps | Nice older ROD park. At this time of year the 50 AMP sites are available and the power is good. Full hookups, beautiful sunrises over the river across the street. |
| Isleton, CA | 12/22/11-12/29/11 | Lighthouse RV Resort & Marina | Older park under going rennovation, but POWER still sucks! Couldn't use the microwave at times because the power hovered at 110V a lot. Clean enough, just bad power!!! Stayed as Coast to Coast member. |
