Time to Leave California

So I have been back to the states for 2 months and it seems like 2 weeks. Time is flying. Less than 3 weeks until I leave again and still so much to do.

Wonderful seeing everyone. I am so lucky that my family is doing well all over the country. I am so proud of the kids who are now young adults and just killing it. Just makes me smile.

Ken’s still kicking and loving a strawberry shake. Pa and Sue are doing well. I spent a lot of time with them and want to say thanks for the love and hospitality.

I did make a quick trip up country. Bob and I headed up to Loon lake to camp and get in a little fishing. Sadly they have restricted the space around the lake for day use only so no camping. So we left and ended up down at the river with the area to ourselves. The road had some large rocks and logs that made it a little of a challenge. I did destroy one of the camper jacks hitting a log on the way down to the river. If you are wondering we didn’t catch one fish.

Pa and Sue came up and stayed with me a couple of days. We went to Dave Moore recreation area on the South Fork of the American river on Halloween. It’s kind of like holy ground to the family. While sitting by the river a gal came buy with two dogs in her kayak. Reminded me of Diana and Kippy. We sure spent a lot of time on the water over the years. A big treat that night was when we went to Buckeye for Dinner. It was their first time sitting in a restaurant since February and our food was outstanding. It was great seeing Georgetown celebrate Halloween!!!

The whole covid thing has been interesting to say the least. It is different across the country as a whole. California buy far is the most locked down. When traveling you never know how to greet a friend. Do you hug, shake hands, run for your mask, stand apart or yell at each other from across the street. Some places are like “why would you wear a mask unless you are sick”. Then in another place you see a person wearing a mask while sitting by the ocean with no one else around. One good thing is that traffic in the cities is bearable.

Most of my time was spent in the Bay area. Took care of some business and just had fun hanging with family. Now I am in Cool getting ready to hit the road. I still have some running around to catch up to a few more people. Hopefully on the road by Tuesday at the latest.

Ya all take care!
