Day 119: Hearst San Simeon State Park, CA Sunny and warm. I looked up some fun things to do on California’s central coast and we headed south. We are pretty much out of groceries, so we stopped for breakfast at Linn’s Bakery and shared a bear claw with coffee. Curious, We picked up a slice... Continue Reading →
Day 118: Veterans Park Campground, Monterey, CA Driving Highway 1We have already been up and down Highway 1 from Monterey to the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park a few times now. So, leaving the area and going south, we headed down Highway 1 one more time, starting at Monterey, and again going over the Bixby... Continue Reading →
Day 117: Veterans Park Campground, Monterey, CA Sunny and hot. I think we gave Monterey a good day of it. First thing we did was go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The old saying is right, you get what you pay for. At 50 bucks each, it was a high price, plus $10 to park.... Continue Reading →
Day 116: Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park Sunny and warm, I think, because we are under the weather-blocking giant redwoods. I’ve been reading John Steinbeck’s “Travels with Charley” and realized I’ve been spelling “Monterey” with two Rs. So I went back through my journals and made the corrections. Sorry, Ross. There are dozens of state... Continue Reading →
Day 115: Pinnacles National Park Sunny and warm. Maybe hot. We looked for more California Condors in the morning, but since we slept in a while, we couldn’t find any.

Day 113: Monterey Way, Sacramento, CA Sunny and warm. It’s been all California sunshine since we left Lassen Volcanic.

Day 112 - Monterey Way, Sacramento, CA Sunny and warm. Ross took us to breakfast at a Chinese restaurant. We had something like stir fry vegetables over rice with sausage slices, and two eggs on top of it all. The sauce was delicious, therefore the whole breakfast was delicious. While Ross attended some Saturday tasks,... Continue Reading →
Day 111: Monterey Way, Sacramento, CA Sunny and warm. Well this was a great day. We started off with coffee with Ross and his coffee friends, two of whom lived in Alaska for a very long time. So much to talk about! Unfortunately, Rita was out of town for the weekend, so we didn't get... Continue Reading →
Day 110: Manzanita Lake Campground, Lassen Volcanic NP, CA Sunny, after nighttime rain. We drove to Lake Tahoe. Everyone told us it’s beautiful. And it is. The water is clean, the towns we drove through are clean and pretty. The rest of the day sucked. I really needed a shower, then do laundry. None of... Continue Reading →
