This morning we leave Sacramento, on our way to Bakersfield today we think. There’s a cute little Flying J we have our eye on there. It’s about 300 miles from here and three degrees warmer, so an easy drive to a little warmer and free rent. Who could ask for more. We’ve got about a week…

It’s OK To Cry Over Spilt Milk.
It seems that the gallon of milk we had in the outside fridge (yes, the beer fridge) had sprung a leak. So we poured what was left of our spilt milk in what ever was handy, put the conainers in the inside fridge, cleaned up the mess, and hit the road. The road that day was the…
Are We There Yet?
We’ve been on the road about 5 weeks now and we’ve done some miles. Actually about 4200 miles. So far our travels have taken us through 4 Canadian provinces and a dozen US states. We’ve slept in rest areas, truck stops, Walmarts, a couple of RV manufacturers and a half dozen different RV Parks. We are…
Never Ever Again
Looking at the atlas and planning our little jaunt down California 1, I harkened back to my apparently not very good memory. I remembered that the roads were a little curvey and the views were outstanding. Not much else. It wasn’t until we were actually on the road the other day when I realized that…
Can Someone Please Explain?
Last night, perhaps over a beverage, you discussed the next days journey. You checked it out in the atlas, looked at your route on Streets and Trips and programmed the GPS. The next morning the jacks are up, the slides are in. You are ready, more ready than you have ever been.As others around you in the…
Fun Road
To get from Legget back out to the coast you need to get on highway CA1. California 1 is noted for twists and turns and some pretty amazing scenery, but I’d forgotten just how twisty and turny it is. I’m going to let the pictures do the talking here. Here’s our GPS telling me…
Watching Paint Dry XX
This is the last painting that Mar did before we hit the road this fall, once again working with local Grimsby artist Jan Yates. The actual piece of art, is huge, three feet by two feet and depicts a vineyard and farm garden south of Grimsby where Jan lives. You can view this painting and most…
Good Bye Trinidad
We’ll see you later Trinidad California, population 311. We met a few of you, acknowledged a bunch more. If we had another week or so we probably would have met you all. I don’t think we’ll ever forget this town. We parked in your Redwoods, visited your beaches, shopped in your market. We hiked around your Lighthouse…
Happy Birthday to Mar
Friday was finally Mar’s birthday. We’ve drawn this one out pretty good, from purchasing her a Wii a couple of weeks ago in Kelowna BC, to dinner in a real nice restaurant in Brookings Oregon on Thursday night , finally, the big day on November 19 in Trinidad California. Our email, our phone and our…
