Here is a Google Earth map to the Canyon RV Park.  It's not exact directions but will show you roads and what else is around there for your dining and shopping pleasure.

my kids don't start until AFTER labor day...Kevin on Tues & Kara on Wed

BTW: I guess we are going to get a heat wave..of course it's either hot or raining when we camp...Temps will be about 98 or at the point might as well say 100 :eyecrazy:  I know for some of you this is cooler...

2 more wake-ups!!

Brad asked me to post the directions I gave him when he stayed here before so here it is.

Brad lives in Ventura so I told him to take 101 to 134 to
the 210 fwy EAST to the 57 fwy SOUTH stay on the 57 south  and shortly after the 60 fwy you will exit IMPERIAL HWY go LEFT follow it for about 15 minutes to LA PALMA go LEFT (stay in the right lane ONLY) to Gympsium Cyn go RIGHT campground is on the right

Note: when you get to Yorba Linda Blvd (mimi's cafe, Chili's, and el Pollo loco on the corners) you will enter the Nixon Freeway which is 2 lanes then one lane and then opens up at the intersection as you go downhill ..be in the left STRAIGHT lane because when you go over the Railroad Tracks that next light is La Palma (Carls Jr) and you need to go left.

the speed limit is 40 on La palma so watch for the motorcops they hide good!!


if you go to google maps and type in Yorba Linda it gives you a good map. Imperial hwy (90) cuts diagonal across town it should take you less than a 1/2 hr to get to the campgound once you get off the freeway..trust me it will be much faster. before you turn left on La palma look straight ahead and that is the 91 fwy parking lot


for those of you coming from south county: if you take the toll rd GO 91 WEST NOT EAST exit the weir cyn/yorba linda exit (first one) and GO RIGHT to La palma and go right stay in right lane to gypsiumthen right
if it's during rush hour do not go left to Santa ana cyn it is one lane with a stop sign at gypsium and it will back up almost all the way to weir cyn..

98 DEGREES???  OK Just so you all know, I don't do well in the heat!:eek:

 
What is there to do when it's that hot out??

OK:  WHo has an oven I can use for potluck Sat. night?  BRANDON:  I'm doing this for you.  I'm bringing Greek food.  Spanakopita AND Baklava!  Now you can't give me a hard time anymore, OK?
 
So, I'll need an oven if I'm bringing Spanakopita.  It'll be a pan of about 12X17 or so.  Baklava will already be done, but I can't bake the Spanakopita until Sat. evening.

We may not make it until Sat. late morning.  Kids don't get home until late Friday and with traffic and all, we may just wait till morning.

Estelle - You can come sit with me in my a/c...I DON'T DO HEAT!!!!  So, except for the ropes course, I'll be inside!

That'll be the nighttime temperature.  

Now you know why I didn't sign up for this trip.  Estelle & Kristi, my place is about 30-40 minutes from there.  If it's too hot, you can come hang out in my air-conditioned home with Jed and me.

If it's too hot, you all can just tell me about the ropes course.  Ain't no way I'm coming all that way just to sweat.

Yeah, yeah, call me a wimp.  But I'll be cool!

[Jamesdad]

WOW....only 100+ on the camp out...we'll need to bring jackets, it will be chilly to us..ha ha. Does this place have a pool? Hi Kristi, My wife will also be in the AC, she does not do heat at all. James cousins will be joining us Sat and I think they will all be doing the ropes course...Whew, I lucked out...ha ha

Since we weren't able to make this trip and it's SOOOOO close to home, we thought we may visit on Sat or Sunday.  Hope you don't mind.  Mary & Brad said for us to visit around noon or 2 pm.

Hope to see you there.

According to Yahoo weather:

 
Thurs - Hi 95    Lo 72
  Fri   - Hi 93    Lo 72
  Sat -  Hi 92    Lo 70
  Sun - Hi  91   Lo 70
 
I saw no 98 whatsoever. And 70 at night sounds awesome to me.  Fish Squad members are required to be outside so we do not show our wimpyness to non members.

C'mon down!  It may just be us you see, sounds like everyone else will be huddled in their trailers with the AC on.   Wimps!  Next summer we are hosting a mandatory SCCampers Boot Camp Campout up here in the AV.  We'll make campers out of you!

well, Estelle, i wasn't planing on using my oven, so it's yours!!! especially, for Spanakopita!...you'll be bringing back some good food memories for me.  my mom used to make that and  baklava...(i'm not Greek, just a Greek food lover, since i grew up eating many Greek/Armenian dishes)
I do make a mean Mousaka, though...that was my favorit dish growing up, so i made sure i learned to make it.


i hate the heat, too, so i guess us wimps will stay in the cool comfort of our a/c units. you can hang out w/me and watch chick flicks or play games

who's idea was it venture away from the beach over Labor Day??
