On the level

Back in early 2005, not long after heavy winter rains had rearranged the landscape all over southern California, I stopped at Red Rock State Park near Mojave north of LA. It was late afternoon on a Friday, and there was only one camp site left. It had been nearly washed away and then partially pushed back into shape by a bulldozer. But it was obvious why no one had taken it. It sloped about two feet downhill from front to back and a foot from left to right.

I decided to give it a try. I backed in at an angle to reduce the worst of the slope, then I used all of my larger planks and blocks to get the wheels leveled side to side. My full set of interlocking blocks on a wood base raised the left landing gear of the fiver enough to complete the leveling.

It was worth the effort. It's a nice state park and worth a stop if you're in the area. I love the sandstone formations. You'll probably find this space easier to park in by now.
