Tom and Jen bought a truck camper.
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. Perhaps they stop circling early in the morning. Perhaps they found some good carrion to eat earlier. We drove through the Salinas Valley to the... Continue Reading →
Day 114: Tres Pinos, CA Sunny and warm. Last night as we were driving to Tres Pinos we saw a sign for the Pinnacles National Park. Wait, what? We didn’t know about this national park! So today we decided to check out the park first thing in the morning. The park has something to do... Continue Reading →
Day 113: Monterey Way, Sacramento, CA Sunny and warm. It’s been all California sunshine since we left Lassen Volcanic. After a morning soak in the hot tub, we walked to a coffee shop with Ross and his way-cool dog, Pinto. Then we went on our way. We had such a nice lunch and afternoon visiting... Continue Reading →
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 →
Day 109: Monterey Way, Sacramento, CA Sunny and warm. We left early for an appointment for an oil change for Arvi. The oil change, and a couple other minor items, took over four hours. Then we drove to Lassen Volcanic National Park. I’m getting too old for these drives up steep mountains with dramatic drops... Continue Reading →
Day 108: MacKerricher State Park, Fort Bragg , CA Sunny and mild. Right here at MacKerricher are boardwalks along the ocean beach and tide pools. From the water several harbor seals watched us watching them. Going through climate changes amazes me. We drove through coastal beach, then coastal mountains, then arid hilly terrain, then vineyards... Continue Reading →
