The Venture Back To WA

We left AZ on Sat 4-19 and traveled to Laughlin Nevada stayed there tell Monday am. On Saturday evening we spent the evening with Jerry's cousin as they were on their way to WA as well. Sunday we spent some time with our friends that live at Bull Head City. NO we did not win a bunch of money but we had fun.

Monday we headed west to Paso Robblies it is along the coast of CA on Hwy 101. This is a very beautiful area and lots of wineries. We stayed here tell Thursday AM.

Below is a picture of a winery that we could walk to from our RV park. Ark and Saw was disappointed they could not go to the wine tasting. YES we bought a couple bottles of wine and plan to have a little wine tasting party here at the house.

We also spent a day at Hearst Castle WOW what a great day. It is hard to believe that back in the 18th century there was areas like this. That people had that much money and bought so much land 250,000 acres from Mexico.

This is a picture of the castle from where we had to park our car at the Recreation center. If you look straight up from the fence post to the top and on the left is the castle. It is a 15 to 20 minute drive up there by bus.

This is the out door pool and there is a indoor one as well just as big.

We left this area on Thursday and headed up the 101 Hwy through the red wood forest area north of Oakland and San Fransciso we skirted these two towns but it gave Jerry more experience driving the coach through towns with traffic. He done just fine. Also driving through some of the red wood forest area was very windy roads but we did just fine. We had no rain on the trip home. We stayed in Florence OR on Friday night and we were close to the sand dune area so we took a little drive down towards the beach and had the opportunity of watching individuals riding quades and dirt bikes up these dunes approximately 30 feet high. I was worried we would witness someone getting injured or killed but nothing happen guess it was not their first time doing this activity.

Well here we are at the end of our 7 day trip home. Now it is getting things cleaned up and doctor, & dentist appointments made and get on with spending the summer doing what ever.

So until next week I will end this blog writting and send our greetings to all our family and friends. Barb
