Having a great trip. Up the coast to Mendo for an amazing gathering of the “wee folk”, the “good neighbors”, elves or whatever at the wedding of our good friends Chris and Rachel. Then on to gold rush country for my brother’s family, then on to Joshua Tree for my wife’s Mother’s and her sweet man.
Along the way we’ve been amazed and educated by good wine makers, enthralled by faerie, spanked by the Pacific, tested by a forty three year old vehicle and had a wonderful time. Back to Avalon this week and ready for Halloween (and our 18th wedding anniversary) in Kentucky. See you wherever.

Hi Steve. I’d swear that’s an old North Face Bullfrog tent in your camping pic. I’ve got one just like it, served me for years out in the desert.
Take care, and see you back at Tourmaline one of these days 🙂
I believe you are right about that. We’ve had if for years and it’s still a great tent. Let me see; Red River Gorge, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Isle Royale, North Manitou Island, Refugio, Joshua Tree, El Cap, Yosemite, San Elijo, Morrow Bay, Santa Cruz, Leo Carrillo, Mendo…..yep, good tent.
