Yup. They are forecasting rain for this next week and temps are drifting downward. So it is time for us to head back to Mexico. This is a working trip...and yes, by the time we leave there better be 2 working diesel engines and 1 working refrigerator! Those items will immensely add to our fun on the water. We plan to be home by Thanksgiving.
Since our ride to Morro Bay (still on a high from that experience!), we have ridden a few times. I must admit that nothing gets you in shape for road cycling, well, like bike touring lugging all that gear and weight. We are much stronger and the bikes feel light and responsive. Zipping up and down the hills and through the Sonoma wine country has been great fun.
And we had a yard sale -- it was a cold dreary Saturday -- but bunches of stuff was sold, especially the leftovers from "HandyMan Al". We are now on the third trip to the GoodWill with all the picked over bits; but this has been a great milestone in cleaning out the house. A few items are going up on CraigsList.
This week is a bit about chores: new car tires, boat list scrutiny, final errands, etc. We will spend Sunday (Oct 9) in Davis with Bryan, then on to Lake Tahoe for a day with Les and Arlene. Next stop will be Mammoth Lakes, CA where we will try for the 3rd time to experience Devil's Postpile! Then on to Flagstaff (via Las Vegas for the food!) to pick up solar panels and finally to Tucson.
We will keep you posted.
