Highlights
- While Robin ran around the campground, Ross hiked a couple miles down to the ocean. The campground was pretty empty, and this gave our morning exercise a side order of solitude.
- Driving over San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge is always a thrill.
- The lazy momma seals and their pups lying along the Russian River right at the junction of the Pacific Ocean teaches that laziness may just very well be a virtue.
- We ate clam chowder, crab cakes, and fish tacos at Parkside Cafe in Stinson Beach. The Pacific coast makes for some hankering for seafood.
Lowlights
- With the forecast predicting a day of pouring rain, we looked for a new campground where we could hunker down, take needed showers, and wash some clothes. And we wanted it to be awesome and beautiful and cheap. And we start to feel a little desperate late in the day as the sky gets cloudy and darkens. It’s really the only thing left we have to fight about these days. And did we mention that the Jeep has started to smell like a dank funk due to the aforementioned stinky laundry (dank) and Mr. Spock (funk).
- Sad to hear about the death of Prince. Robin fondly remembers seeing him live in Richmond, Virginia back in 1982. His grand entrance was descending from the ceiling on a round, purple-silk covered bed. In keeping with Ross’ tradition of paying tribute to departed musicians, we streamed some Prince at bedtime to remember him.
