TAKE A CHANCE ON THE INTERNET

Yes, we're still here, and continuing our travels. We arrived at Everett & Lori's in Jamestown on Monday, the 11Th. That's when we began a week of no Internet access and almost no cell phone coverage. As well as Sprint has worked for us around the country, it just does not work in our old hometown in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. While in Jamestown we took care of routine medical stuff for us and the dog, and it looks like we're all good for at least another year or so. We were able to visit with, or say hi to many friends, including Karen & Allen, John, A.J., Jeff, Troy, Bruce, and had a nice dinner with Lori, Art & Linda. We missed Everett at dinner because he was called by the Sanitary District to help them repair a break in the main line with his back hoe. We have some wonderful friends in CA. and always look forward to seeing them. On Friday, we drove to Stockton and visited with my aunt Martha and cousin Diane. Martha recently lost her husband Harry, and was recovering from a bout with pneumonia. It was nice to visit with them and Martha gave me some old pictures of my mother that I had never seen.
Just before leaving Jamestown, Lori did some research of my family on the genealogy web sites, and found information about my ancestors that I did not know. Thanks Lori!

We said good bye yesterday morning, and drove north on I5 to Redding, where we took SR299 west toward the CA coast. This road follows a lot of the Trinity River, and is a beautiful drive. The temperatures in the Sacramento Valley had been around 100 all day, so when we had the cooler weather just in front of us, I kept driving until we got almost to Eureka. We stopped at an Indian Casino just west of Eureka on Hwy 299, and yea, even though it's very slow, we have Sprint coverage once again. Today we'll drive up the coast to Bandon, OR, and stop at the West Coast Animal Park. This is a place we have visited several times, and they almost always have baby cats such as Leopards, Lynx, Tigers, etc. I tried to download some pictures, but our connection is so slow here, it just didn't happen.
