We made it. The drive up to Pechanga was pleasant, traffic moved fairly well. We arrived a little early and cost us a whopping $10.00 for early arrival. We learned a valuable lesson with our reservations... it is probably best to speak with a person because some spaces don't qualify for Passport America... we got one of them (that didn't qualify). The site is a nice site in what they call the "Buddy" sites, two sites share a common portico between the two sites. It was great getting here on a Monday because there were few rigs, and it was quiet, but I suspect it should begin filling up about mid-week in anticipation of the 4th of July celebration.
Check in day was spent getting settled in and resting, it appears that I have bronchitis, but I don't plan to let it ruin the stay-cation, just have to pace myself.

Last night we walked over to the casino, checked it out and had dinner at Kelsey's. Kelsey's atmosphere was nice for a sports bar that serves dinner.
The portions were good sized, Carol and I took home leftovers. I ordered a Buffalo Chicken Salad Wedge, Carol ordered Cheese Kurds. For you Mid-westerners, the kurds were done California style, battered and deep fried. Have no fear, they tasted good, the batter was not over powering. I was surprised when my wedge showed up, I was expecting the usual wedge with the sauce being buffalo wing sauce and a smidgen of chicken. Instead, the wedge was broken down and covered with a large quantity of chopped buffalo wings and their sauce. The cheese kurds were just a start for Carol, her main course was Tri-tip in a BBQ sauce. I ordered ribs with BBQ sauce, and fries. The BBQ sauce appeared to have a whiskey flavor to it. It was great on the fries too. Of course we made room for dessert. I could leave you guessing which ones we had, but I am a nice guy, so I will tell you. Carol had the cheese cake (bottom left with chocolate swizzle stick), I had the molten lava brownie (right center, the white is ice cream). Needless to say I finished my dessert because I hate to see a dessert spoil, Carol on the other hand was trusting and brought part of her's home.
We came home and started watching the Dark Shadow series (I slept through most of it). The series was kindly donated to us by our friends and fellow Escapees, John and Sue Ford.
Tomorrow we plan to visit a couple of museums in Temecula.
