If you go back and read our September 22, 2005 blog you will find out that we rode out to the West Quoddy Head Light House in Maine. I wrote this about it, “This cape is the most easterly point in the United States, and it has a very pretty red and white striped light house on it.”
Ride the Dragon:
Judy and I ride our homebuilt recumbent tandem bicycle just about where ever we go. On Monday we set out to ride from Gilroy to the outskirts of San Jose to have lunch with Glen and his family. We cut our time too short so with a few quick calls on the cell phone we arranged to meet everyone in Morgan Hill at the Morgan Hill Museum. The museum was closed but they had a nice garden with benches where we ate our lunch.
Hail to Rain
We have now left sunny Arizona. We have traveled to Sunny California and we are now in the “Bay Area” in Gilroy visiting our son, Glen’s, family. So what do they greet us here with? Hail, sleet, snow and rain, oh yes a little sun, but temperatures are 10 to 20 degrees below normal this week.
Scrambled Bands
It has been a while since I sent out a blog. We have been doing Bluegrass music about every day. There are five festivals in January and February here in Southeast California and Southwest Arizona. We have just finished up the fourth festival, it is in Quartzsite. The highlight of the weekend for us was the band scramble. This is my fourth band scramble, and I know I have written about the others, but it is just so much fun that I have to tell you the story of this one too.
Topock Gorge
Judy and I are visiting Sonja and Jack in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Lake Havasu is part of the Colorado River between Davis Dam and Parker Dam, a distance of about 83 miles on the river. Today we boated about 20 miles of the lake and the river in Topock Gorge in Jack’s pontoon boat.
