WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA


We are still just making our way south.  Not much new to report, just more beautiful scenery and twisty roads around the ocean.  At one point we left the ocean road to drive through the redwood forest in California.



another lunch on the fender



Although one somewhat interesting thing happened.  We had an attempted robbery of the truck, and we were told we were evicted from our hotel by a mob of Californias finest!!  Not to worry, we haven't resorted to any criminal activities. The eviction was just a mistake in identity and the robbers weren't  able to steal anything from the truck.  Sooo, we left that fine hotel at three am and this is why we are staying in an out-of-budget hotel, thirty miles north of San Francisco!!!!!

  1. wow, sure looks a lot better then the snow.
    sure happy you didnt tell me your story on the phone...you were sure sketchy with the details, were you parked at that hotel they were going to evict you from, when the robbers came along?
    Your first of many adventures.

  2. Details man, Details.....what happened with the "attempted robbery" of the vehicle?

    Will we be seeing you in COPS soon? ;-)

  3. No they tried stealing our jerry cans off the roof. There was hand prints smears all over the sliding windows. In regards to the cops they were given a description of a guy that looked like me and the hotel clerk came to my defence. And that was the last straw and we hit the road at three am without COFFEE. Welcome to California;-)
