Geo: 40.1203, -123.822When a family member tells you they are building ANYTHING and could use some help.....RUN!!!!!!! Let's just say the best laid plans of mice or Dave and Debbie usually have some kind of fly in the ointment. Stopped to visit for a weekend and ended up staying for ten days to help out family by building a barn and separate shade structure for a horse and ended up smack dab in the middle of a bunch of crazy A** people...... Everybody has a plan in their head how this thing should go but nobody has bothered to tell anybody else or draw up a plan or supply list.... Can anyone say goat rope or cluster f**k..... Add in everybody's personal drama, lack of hydration and nutrition while working our butts off...... I haven't ever ... read more

Geo: 39.1509, -123.208Bushay Campground, Lake Mendicino.......138 sites......First day 3 campers and us. It almost seems like the twilight zone.

Geo: 35.1568, -120.668You'd think we'd remember: 1. How cold the coast is with the marine layer. California may not have a drop of rain but they have a cold moist layer of crap that freezes your butt off and keeps everything damp for days. 2. Don't get buzzed when you have to pack out the next morning. Hadn't even pulled into the campground yet to set up and a member of the San Luis Obispo Wheelers MC pulled up and told us about a gathering in a couple of hours at a bar downtown. It had been a rough ride with the crappy roads (isn't Cali a rich state?) and the massive gridlock. What should have taken 4 hours took over 6 and I was a little grumpy but my guy needs his guy time. I'm ... read more
