Entry from: Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park, United States Entry Title: "Day 13 Wednesday Bakersfield to Sequoia Canyon" Entry: "Up at 8am, good sleep the trains didn't disturb us which is good. I dumped the greywater and topped up the fresh water. Left 0830, using TomTom we went via a Vons/Safeway for groceries, got fuel at an Amco filling station $2.63 a gallon compared to the $2.76 at Shell directly opposite and then north on I99 for a good while. Turned off at Visalia heading east, as the RV is over 22ft we decided not to risk the Three Rivers entrance to the parks and come in on the 180 Generals Highway. On the Interstate we had good radio reception and several dozen stations to choose from (mainly KGFM I think it was from Bakersfield with all tunes from 70s-now). When we were in Death Valley, or as we passed through the hills round Lake Isabella, we got very poor radio reception - except from God Botherers or Country (or on one a God Bothering Country station!). It seems no matter where you go, you will ALWAYS pick up one station telling you how great God is in a modern pop way, or another about how his horse has died and his wife has run away with a cattle rustler. They just seem to have the strongest signals. Can you imagine the Free Presbyterians of the Western Isles at home ...
