We have been busy since my last post. We are now back in the mountains of northern CA but we just barely have a Sprint signal so we are now in contact with the world. Today we travelled up the CA valley between mountain ranges to our left and right which have now closed in on us. The vineyards have been replaced with rice paddies and olive orchards earlier today. We could see Mt Shasta which is covered in snow.
We have spent time with Clayton, Scott & family. It's been quite awhile since we have seen them and Morgan & Christina have really grown up. That's how I tell I'm getting older, by seeing how much kids have grown & matured. We have pigged out on Chinese, watched Clayton & Scott work on Scott's car, explored Napa wine country (miles & miles of vineyards) and had lunch at one, Clayton has spent a couple nights with us in the trailer, helped Clayton install a new rear tire on his Kawasaki, attended a church service at the Winters CG, R&R at the CG, & explored more of CA with Clayton.
I have determined that I don't like CA, too expensive, tax on newspapers, lots of tax on everyting! ($2.80 on this CG), expressways are quite rough, drivers often exit the expressway from the left lane, crowded, etc. I'll be glad to be in OR in two days. We have been reading about lots of earthquakes, several off the coast of OR and repeaded daily ones in Reno, NV. Both of these are uncommon. Several all the time in CA but we haven't experienced any which is fine by us.
Leaving the Winters CG this morning I broke the outside cell antenna on a tree branch so that will give me something to do. Perhaps I'll only put it up when needed, which is not very often.
