Other individuals who were simply taking selfies with their smartphones. Everyone seemed happy and content and in awe of the beauty around us. \u00a0Mother Nature had defiantly smiled on us this spring. \u00a0After taking in our share of wildflowers for the day and getting some low flying drone shots we headed into Lancaster. \u00a0We found an Elk&#8217;s Lodge with 41 RV spots hookups and just 20.00 bucks a night for Elk club card carriers. \u00a0You can&#8217;t beat that deal! \u00a0We were in luck the local members were having a potluck\/karaoke night that we were invited to. \u00a0We ended the evening with a couple of slow dances out on the floor and a short stroll with Kaliki after.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch our video below and remember your comments are always appreciated.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[embedyt] http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wJ0Xa1EiNxE[\/embedyt]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured print is available for purchase here:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Smugmug\" href=\"https:\/\/californiatravelvideos.smugmug.com\/Wild-Flowers\/i-zk3MNbR\">https:\/\/californiatravelvideos.smugmug.com\/Wild-Flowers\/i-zk3MNbR<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_529\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-529\" style=\"width: 604px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/californiatravelvideos.smugmug.com\/Wild-Flowers\/i-zk3MNbR\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-529\" alt=\"Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve\" src=\"http:\/\/californiatravelvideos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/blog-1024x464.jpg\" width=\"604\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/californiatravelvideos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/blog-1024x464.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/californiatravelvideos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/blog-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/californiatravelvideos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/blog.jpg 1344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-529\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Recommended sizes and crops may vary, feel free to email us with any questions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Next up:\u00a0cTv RV Life \u2013 A Day in Anza-Borrego State Park<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Thank you for watching our show and we look forward to hearing from you!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To order our photos, please see our online SmugMug site where you can purchase beautiful large canvas and acrylic heirlooms, medium to small photos or even photos printed on other media including greeting cards, stickers, playing cards, coffee cups, shirts, etc. If there is a particular photo you want and don\u2019t find it available yet please email us at,\u00a0<strong>support@cTvFun.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/californiatravelvideos.smugmug.com\/\">http:\/\/californiatravelvideos.smugmug.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And if you are into social media, please feel free to Follow, Like and Subscribe to us here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/se37WcA2t0g\">YouTube<br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/b\/107270560320007232092\/107270560320007232092\/posts\">Google+<br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CaliforniaTravelVideos\">Facebook<br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CATravelVideos\">Twitter<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/CaliforniaTravelVideos\">Instagram\u00a0<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/californiatrave\/\">Pinterest<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael &#8211; Seeing the wildflower pop in the Spring is one thing &#8211; hunting a spectacular SUPER-BLOOM is something else! \u00a0Traveling to southern California paid huge dividends to capture mega-awesome photos, videos and drone footage at the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve!
