Day 28 June 14 home

I walked the dog and got to play with Cody-o-dio. Then we departed for home. We plan to stop in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area on the way home.


We stopped at the visitor center but it is closed on Monday and Tuesday. Couldn't get my stamp or sticker.



Long slog home, but we'll see our Cody-odie-o soon.

Day 9 May 26 2022 tour Mt. Saint Helens

Image
Today we drove to Johnston Ridge Volcano Observatory.  The observatory is still closed, but the parking lot and the views are still perfect.  It was 108 miles from our campsite.  Lots of lovely views of Mt. Saint Helens. It was sprinkling a bit, but not enough to make us think twice. The new erosion thru the ash that was deposited 40 years ago was amazing.   Yes, it was cold! 38 degrees... We got to see a family of mountain goats, as well as the huge volcano. It was interesting to see the rivers and canyons that have formed thru the debris field.  The trees look too perfect, all parallel. We went to Coldwater Lake and hiked a bit. It is still spitting rain, but not really raining, and it is 63 degrees. From there, we went back to the Visitors Center and hiked the trail around the marsh. It was part forest, part rain forest, part bog...

Pre-Trip

We decided to go up to Misty's the weekend before this trip started to celebrate Mother's Day. I got to spin and do water aerobics before we left. As we were leaving, the Mailman came and brought the blog book from our last trip. That will be nice to share with Misty's family. As soon as Paul turned on the RV it complained it didn't have enough coolant. It was just serviced.... We stopped at the auto parts place to get coolant and topped it off. It wasn't low, but there was space to add some. It seems to be happy and is not overheating.  LA traffic was pretty cooperative. And diesel was $6.59 in Calabasas. We stopped at The Habit in Oxnard for lunch. We have never eaten at one. I tried siracha green beans and a veggie burger. Sounds interesting. Paul got a burger and fries. We liked it, we can add this place to our list of good food. When we finally got to Santa Ynez! It was so great to see our grandson Cody. He is so ...

Day 4 May 21 2022 to Whiskytown Nat Rec Area and Yreka

Good morning world! I'm up at 6:30 and out to walk the dog. There are a few early risers. So beautiful, it will be hard to move on from here. So we dump the tanks and off we go. Our first mishap of the morning, Paul forgot to take the cap off the hose before he dumped. Not sure if he put a hole in the hose but he sure has a mess. That's the second time we've done that. I have to come up with something goofy and obnoxious to help him remember to take the cap off. Someone recommended bright nail polish to paint the cap red, or attach an obnoxious tag or sticker to it. 229 miles to Whiskeytown, our first sticker stop. It is not a national park, but a National Recreation Area, but it is in our book. Lovely rest stop off the I-5 in Yolo. We look miniature next to big ones.... As we're driving, we see lots of vineyards and orchards, but they're not playing the game fair. If you're going to grow something, you need to put a sign as to what it is...
