The Horse Returns

It sure feels great sleeping in your own bed ...er, my own bed...how are all of you doing in my absence?...yes, I missed you too...it is amazing the daily rituals one gets in and OUT of...sure, posting of my thoughts on a routine basis is one of those...having my own computer to use is another...so much easier to type on...er, with...whatever... So many random thoughts as we traversed the west...well, Cali and Oregon ...first of all, the change of topography is severe and at the same time, beautiful ...the land is taken up by many farmers doing this...growing vineyards ...grapes to maketh the wine...in itself, is so dang pretty...the color green is deeper in Oregon...yet, the redwoods of northern Cali are breath taking...the base of those trees are humongous...imagine the years of those rings... As I have been saying how nice it is to be home ...clean everything...bath, shower, pixels with many options (ha ha), this that and whatever...we still have this thang for Bend, OR .....

PETERman Tour

We have wi-fi!...greetings, kids...parked in a KOA at Pismo....hard to believlllle that it's been 3 weeks of BLISS...something like that...and, get this, we are still married...for you who have never ventured out in a 21 foot RV...or, any footage rig...you KNOW the perils involved... Mapping out the path, not on the straight and arrow I-5...going thru roads that look direct on the map, but hardly are in the real world...our most harrowing was the excursion to Clearlake Cali...a trip back into time...the road was a breath stopping half hour of 5 mph curves and lack of 2 lanes...overlooking a drop off that one feared...I said often, that no way a Class A could make this trek... Finally arriving...it was the dump of dumps...the site was pretty, but the resort(?) was the most odious thing we have ever seen...in  reality or on the pixels...the hostess said there is no good way in, or out!...'that's why there is literally no one here....'....once you get there you are stu...

Da Tour

Hi everybody!...and happy father's day to all of you pappies...and especially to you NEW daddies....life is precious...we are presently in dock on the northern Cali coast...in the redwood forest...really...pictured here is at our camp site...cool, huh...never seen such huge trunks on trees...awesome...apparently, I can't download the pix...grrr... Da trip has been terrific...meeting up with so many friends has been memorable...such warm hospitality in some great parts of the state of Oregon....Eugene, Salem, and Bend...there was not enough time to see everyone...and everything...but, what we did, was super...how many adjectives have I used thus far?... If all stays the way we have it mapped, it will be a 21 day Tour...Cosmo?...bodacious!...getting about 14.5 mpg on regular gas...which brings me to the various cost of a gallon of it...varies from $3.09 to $4.09...more in Cali...must be due to more taxation...my guess... Sammi, has been a wondrous travel dawg...she lurves t...
