La dernière semaine a été bien occupée... Nous avons quitté nos amis cyclistes, sommes allés dans deux vallées de vin... Bon pour le palais… Nous avons rencontré une famille de Santa Rosa, monté et descendu bien des côtes et cherché des cartes et campings... Voici un résumé des derniers jours et quelques photos de la semaine... Des détails suivront. The last week was pretty busy; we splet up with our biker-friends, went into two wine valleys (miamy), met a wonderful family in Santa Rosa, went up and down many hills, tried to find maps and campgrounds where to sleep, and so on... Here is a summary of the past days, with thi week-pictures and more comments will follow on our next day-off. 9 septembre: San Francisco - Chabot Regional Park Levée vers 7:30, préparation et départ ... read more

A couple of days ago 2 campers said that someone had stolen their food in the ice chests. The only took the new stuff and not leftovers. One of them saw a person on a bike early in the morning. This morning a camper said that their ice chest had been opened and a bag of meat had been chewed. Probably not a person. We left home April 20, so we have been away for 3 months and have two months to go. We are still enjoying being here and other than friends and camping in Colorado Springs we have not missed anything. I flew to Colorado Springs for 3 days this week to see 3 doctors. Nothing serious but I fly for free on United because of Dave. I had dinner with our Breakfast bunch. ... read more

We have been here over six weeks and are still enjoying the area and work or lack of work. Last week Jan flew to Spokane for a week to attend our grandson Alex’s high school graduation and all associated ceremonies and functions. I stayed behind to ”work” but I did by an airline ticket and flew up on Friday and flew home on Monday. It was a total surprise for Greg and his family including Alex. A couple of times Jan almost spilled the beans but she caught herself. I really felt bad leaving the campground on a very busy weekend but the rangers talked me into going saying that this was too important to miss. A staff member stayed in our RV and took care of our dog Terry. Our son Russ and his family ... read more

We just finished a busy Memorial Day Weekend. Jan’s cousin’s Matt and Ginny VanDuyne and their kids Pascal and Clare from Fresno came for the weekend. This was their first camping trip with the kids. We missed two interesting events at tenh campground. A camper said that a women came out of the shower building and ran naked to her RV and I missed it. The second event was just across the road from us. We were at Safeway when the fight began. A large Indian family (from India) was playing their music very loud. The man in the next RV asked them to turn it down. I guess that there were racial slurs also. The second man then turned on his generator to drown out the music and they in turn turned it up the ... read more

I have been photographing interesting and unusual RVs. The German motorhome was brought over from Germany last year and the owners are traveling many months over a 2 year period. The painted vans are from different rental companies. One owner said that it cost $1200 for three weeks. The Cruise America class c motor homes cost $1200 per week The tent RV is 40 years old and was bought by a young man for $400. It needed a lot of work including a new tent. The base of the wings slide together and it is very small for traveling. It is made of aircraft aluminum and weighs about 400 lbs and he pulls it with a Prius.... read more
