17 Mile Drive, Monterey

By

Rusty, Whisky and I did the 17 Mile drive in Pebble Beach yesterday, which is basically a private road that they charge you $10.25 to drive through the fancy shmancy Pebble Beach golf course   on the Monterey Peninsula.

I have to say it was amazing. Beautiful pristine white sand beaches, cypress trees and tons of wildlife. We saw deer, sea lions, elephant seals, harbor seals, lots of birds and even did some tide pooling. The coolest thing we saw was a tiny orange starfish. About the size of a quarter.

Dogs were allowed everywhere so long as they were on a leash and didn't bother the wildlife. We spent hours just sitting and chilling.

We finished up our day with a nice dinner. Rusty had salmon from the bay. And we shared a bottle of Monterey wine. All in all a very lovely day.

Today we're off for Pacific Dunes in Oceano, making our way back to LA and Eddie and Christine's wedding!

    I think that is the most beautiful drive in the whole world. Kurt and I did it after our first trip to Australia on our way from SFO to Cynthia's graduation at Lewis and Clark. Made us appreciate our own coastline.

The Five Words You've All Been Wondering if I'll Say

It happened the morning we were getting ready to leave Glenwood Canyon.  It had been an emotional week. We were doing all the things we did with my dad. Even Rusty got misty eyed at one of my dad's favorite restaurants. But the thing that I stupidly didn't realize was that we were there on my dad's birthday. He would have been 85. That hit me pretty hard but I guess I didn't realize it until we were getting ready to leave. Don't get me wrong, I love Glenwood Canyon. It's one of the most amazing places and it's no surprise why my dad loved living there. Between all the emotions and the fact that I woke up the morning we were leaving to a tweaked back, I think it was just too much. Rusty had gotten up to prep the sewer and, water and electrical outside and I was working on prepping the inside. Making the bed is a contortionist's nightmare without a tweaked back to say the least but I got it made. Then I start to notice blood on the floor. I figure the dog...

This morning's walk

By
brought about an unusual sight. A white pickup with a shell pulls up next to a white van rear end to rear end. Then the guy gets out of the truck and puts on something that looks like a disposable hazmat suit. The van is full of crates and he starts loading his truck with the crates. I was afraid to look but Rusty did. He said the crates had dead chickens in them. When the truck was loaded, he took off the suit and drove south. The van drove over to the north bound onramp and was sitting just waiting. Some things just can't be explained....
