Day 15 Fri Jan 27 - on route to Rio Bend RV park, weather continues great

It’s pack up & leave day. Sheila is going to check out the Double Toe dancers at 8 AM. I will stow everything in the RV go down to the air compressor & check tires, dump grey & meet her down by the exit where we hook-up. Well, we made it, out FoY @ 10:00 @ 149125. Got to El Centro by 11:15 @ 149203 and hit the Golden Corral buffet for lunch. This location has a liquid chocolate tower on the dessert bar as well as the best bread pudding we can remember ever having, very light & fluffy. After lunch I went over to Costco to gas up, and while Sheila did Food-4-Less, I did Wal-Mart and we finally pulled out of El Centro at 1:50. Sheila got the Sobe fruit drinks she wanted at an incredible deal. The guy setting up the display had $1.00 off coupons for them and he gave her a wad, 13 to be exact. Since they were on sale for 78 cents each, and the $1 coupons were taken off at the end of the order, she was earning 22 cents each on the first 13 bottles she bought. The 22 bottles she bought ended costing her $4.16 or 18.9 cents each!
After shopping, we headed to Rio Bend RV Resort just west off Hwy I 8, arriving at 2:10 @ 149221. They have lots going on. Sheila went to their Friday supper special, “All You Can Eat” fish fry for $9, but I was still full from our lunch buffet and very tired, so I took a nap in the rig. After supper there was a community bonfire that we joined. There were about 30 people around the fire, two had guitars & we sang songs. They were a very pleasant, friendly group. Sheila even got to make a Smores over the fire at the end. Their fire permit only allowed 6:30 to 8:30 PM, so it ended then. Next, we went to the activity centre that is a free WiFi hot spot to check the TV schedule for the next two days and then back to the RV for the evening to watch reruns of sit-coms on TV.
