End of San Diego visit

Tomorrow will be our last day here in San Diego. We're having the coach and trailer washed in the morning and then we'll decide whether to head out afterward or to wait until the next morning. I'm kinda looking forward to moving cause I want to see how easy or hard it's going to be to re-establish a link with starband.

San Diego

We are camped at Pio Pico, it's in south San Diego County on Telegraph Canyon Road, actually in Jamul. Weather has been perfect. Food has been perfect. Ate at Filippi's, Old Mexico Cafe in Old Town, had lobster in Puerto Nuevo, and just this afternoon, Ponce's on Adams St. Also was able to find by favorite store to get my own carne asada, which is now in our freezer.

Trouble?

Seems I've encountered some problems trying to cross over to this new format. Now maybe I've got it fixed, let's just see with this posting. If it works, I'll start some updates.

Turtle Beach

Been at Turtle Beach for a couple of weeks, much nicer campground than we've been in since arriving in California. New elec, good sewer, good water, great staff. It's been kinda cold the last week but we are hoping to head south soon.

Hangin out

Just Hangin out at Lake Minden, gonna put a new chain and sprocket on Cuz'n Frank's bike today, sure am glad the sun is shining.

Have you ever heard of these eateries and watering holes? "Al the Wops", Wimpy's, Giusti's, Isleton Joe's, Lost Isle.

Well, here we are, all set up in the Sacramento Delta. Cuzn Frank, Jim and I mount our bikes and head for a ride to Mt. Diablo. You can see San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento Valley from there. If the smog were to clear from the valley you could see the Sierra Nevada's also.

About time

Guess it's about time I update this blog. Since July we have traveled across the country to the west coast. Spent some time in Oregon, fishing and crabbing and attended the family reunion. We have been hanging out in the Sierra Nevada's for the last few weeks and are now headed for the Sacramento Delta for 10 days then to Palm Springs.

Got Trailer? You bet! Finally picked up our trailer and are headed west now. Have stopped in Elgin, Ok to pick up stuff for Jennifer and to load our stuff in trailer from storage.

Yes, finally we have our trailer. We left Georgia with the new trailer, headed for Elgin, Ok to pick up stuff for delivery to Jennifer. Today we will load trailer and maybe head west.

Here's the bend in the river right next to the picnic area. 

Here's a picnic area right next to the Suwannee River 

We stay here just about everytime we cross Florida on Hiway 41, Tonight our little camp area was featured on The Learning Channel. It was a story about skunk apes. Pete and Linda headed home to Titusville so now our little group consists of just Roger and Rebecca and Karan and I.  

We have left Key West and are heading north, a lunch stop was in order and we all gathered at Wahoo's. 

Here we are, the Key West Krew, waiting for our food order at B.O.'s Fish Wagon. This is a really unique and yet very good place to eat. 

Charles, son of Robert and Beth caught this barracuda right in front of our campsite at Sigsbee. After the pic he set the fish free. 

Here comes the Dateline crew back aboard after taking a cooling off swim while the divers are on the bottom.  

Here's a diver getting ready to enter water. As you can see, the jump off the ship is about 6 feet and he needs to jump out about 4 feet to clear the ladder. This entry is not for the faint of heart, hang on to your gear guy!  

Cameraman and soundman as investor divers come back aboard after searching for treasure in the hole that Magruder has dug with her redirected prop wash. Today we found a pottery handle and a large piece of pottery. 

Here's a piece of pottery we picked up on the first dive of the morning. 400 years since it's seen the light of day.
