West Coast Spring 2018 – Yosemite, Part Two
June 18 – 20 Our plan for the day was to hike out of Happy Isles and take the Muir Trail towards Vernal Falls. Some folks in the group were either recovering from knee surgery or on their way towards it and so it was agreed that those who felt like it would go as […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Yosemite, Part One
June 18 – 20 After leaving San Luis Obispo and our hearty lunch, we made good time into Oakland and caught a break with the traffic. With luck on our side we found a spot on the street close to the apartment where we could park for the two hours needed to get us to […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Morro Bay, Part Two
June 18 – 20 The next morning after spending some time in camp we set out for our days activities. First up was the short drive into Morro Bay where we introduced Kim and Marty to the Sun-N-Buns Bakery where we enjoyed a romp through their pastry selection. From there it was out to Montana […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Morro Bay, Part One
June 18 – 20 With a familiar four-hour drive ahead of us to Morro Bay, we dawdled leaving Oakland, timing it so that we departed not long after Jessica and Kris left for work, needing to leave before 10am regardless as our on the street nearby expired at that time. On the road, just as […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Oakland, Part Two
June 14 – 17 After returning to the apartment, I cleaned up and then Kris, James and I drove up to Berkeley to visit one of our favorite breweries, Jupiter. By a stroke of luck, we found on street parking directly behind the place and after entering, were seated outside on the back patio, the […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Los Angeles
June 11 – 13 Our three nights in Los Angeles would follow a familiar pattern, visiting old haunts, seeing good friends, maybe a bike ride or two and best of all, an obligatory dinner at Paco’s. And that is pretty much how it went, a lot of it old news to those who follow this […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Solana Beach
June 7 – 10 With a full day ahead of us and a four hour plus drive to Solana Beach, we took off mid-morning (along with Sharon and Doug) to miss most of the Las Vegas rush hour traffic. It was an easy drive, stopping for our first visit of the trip at the In-N-Out […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Henderson, Part One
June 2 – 6 With a ten-hour drive ahead of us to get to Meadview, Arizona and our stay with my Aunt Agnes (Aggie) and Uncle Dick (Jim to his friends; it’s a long story, my family’s penchant for nicknames. We won’t go into it here), we got up early, broke camp quickly and were […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Santa Fe, Part Three
May 29 – June 1 Our plan for the day was to drive to Los Alamos to tour the Bradbury Science Museum, part of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park which is comprised of various spots in the city. We figured we’d spend the day there and then return to town for dinner, first stopping […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Santa Fe, Part Two
May 29 – June 1 After breakfast in camp we drove back into Santa Fe, this time parking in one of the multi-story public garages for a fairly reasonable $11 for the whole day. With a few minutes to kill before the start of the tour and is our habit, we sought out coffee and […]
