We left Pahrump last Monday & got as far as Hawthorne, NV. Spent the night in a casino parking lot. Made it to Fallon, NV the next day. Came here to visit with Carrie, Craig, & Caleigh. Carrie is Ann's cousin's daughter. We had a very enjoyable time. Caleigh kept us entertained the few hours we were with them. She is a real cutie!
We left Fallon on Thursday to head to Sea Ranch, CA to see Carrie's parents.
We drove, & drove. Couldn't find anyplace to spend the night - gotta love California! We ended up in Bodega Bay - this is the city the old moovie 'The Birds' was made. It cost us $40 to spend the night there in an RV park. Gotta love California!
We were only about an hour & a half from our destination, but, with all the wind & twisty roads, John was absolutely exhausted.
We got to see a lot of vineyards in Napa.
We are parked facing the ocean - really fabulous. There are birds galore flying around the rig; pelicans, sea gulls, & all sorts of land birds. We have also seen divers down in front of us.
I can't get any pictures to upload. I'll keep trying - hope they are worth the effort.
