We are finally off! It's worse than when we were working - now it takes us two weeks to get ready. Being a volunteer does have it's drawbacks - getting signs ready for the annual Mission Hills Garden Club Walk and Treasurer Reports for the Library monthly meeting, plus Ruth (Don) taking on the shipping of Amazon sales, plus tax returns, plus...
Anyway, we got done and packed and loaded and helped to get an escaped dog back to its home and...
we're in Tulare. Traffic wasn't too bad (except through LA as usual) and we did have some rain. At one point it was raining so hard we had to turn off our audio book because we couldn't hear it. But it did let up.
We stopped at the Pyramid Lake information center for the first time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_Lake_(California) and enjoyed their displays (and rest rooms). I hope they've fixed their water fountains by the next time we come through.
Gasoline prices - pretty much over $4.00/gallon (mostly $4.15-4.25 for regular unleaded, cash price) and we found a place for $3.97 with a 50 cent charge for credit card. Sounded good. But we're still not used to paying $50.00+ for a fill-up.
Dinner: http://blackbeardiner.com/ good food but plentiful - we shared a meal and were satisfied.
Onwards to Foster City tomorrow.

Looking for more rain today here. Didn't start til around 8pm. City was supposed to be resurfacing Falcon St. by Farmers Market but cancelled work because of possible rain...could have done the whole job now can't begin til next week. FOL were in their meeting at MHCRC last night when I drove by after MHGC projects. We are going to begin planting trees in the neighborhood with our leftover funds.
Enjoy your trip. You two find some of the most unusual things!
It's been chilly here as usual and a little rain last night. Today was good for a 2.6 mi. walk. Called your Dad early afternoon and asked if he'd like to go to the Chinese Garden tonight for something different?? He accepted! He did tell me about his dishwasher episode and the gardener. Told him he could call me anytime, especially when you're away. So we have a date to go to Costco Monday, April 18, for whatever and we'll celebrate Monica's birthday too. He wanted to go Tues. when his cleaning lady was there but I leave for Omaha early AM. Will keeping checking on him.
