A peek of sun

Got to Oklahoma but the sun didn't follow us. It peeked out for a minute yesterday so I took a quick pic of our campsite.

A new direction

After spending almost a year on the west coast, we are off in a new direction. We are headed east, Key West, Florida as our destination. We will be stopping along the way to take care of business in Oklahoma and visiting friends also. We have friends spread out in Oklhahoma, Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida. Because of the time frame and having to be in Key West for "division week" we won't be spending as much time visiting our friends along the way as we wanted to, later for sure. You'll notice that our pic has changed. Another new direction, we traded in our '03 Beaver Monterey for an '07 Beaver Patriot Thunder. Man O Man, what a difference. I think this will be our last upgrade, sure is nice and seems to have everything we want.

It's Race Time

Here we are lined up on the track for our infield camping spot

That's us in the middle. Folks in front of us are from central Calif.

The folks next to us have a class C and two huge St Bernards.
We are right next to Nellis AFB and they fly all the time.

Go East Old Man

We have finally completed our task in California and are headed east. First stop, Las Vegas, for another NASCAR race, we'll be meeting Harley Rodg and Becca Biker there too. Here's the world's largest thermometer in Baker, CA.

Did you notice on an earlier post about Frank getting the Killer Tomato? Well he did it and we've made a couple of rides together. We had a great time and Frank is thrilled with KT.
Here's Frank and the sign means it, and Frank is an animal.
This was the track at Fontana, our last race. Will post pics of Vegas track next.

Internet Satellite

Here's our satellite set-up. It's really working out well. Set up is extremely easy, I think mainly because of buying and using the Birddog satellite finder. With the LNB for dish network attached it's really nice to hve the tv and internet on one antenna.

We're experiencing some very heavy rain here right now and tv and sat are both up and running.

School Time

First week back in college, taking 3 classes, having fun.

Go Frank

C'mon everybody, cheer Cousin Frank on, he's thinkin' of buying a GL1800 Goldwing. Go Frank, Go Frank, Go Frank!!!

Back in Morgan Hill

Here we are, back in Morgan Hill. Gonna do some riding with cousin Frank and his granddaughter Chelly this Sunday. Weatherman says it should be good weather.

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.
