One of the things we have learned this trip is limits of the T@B refrigerator. If we are off grid for only one night we are fine as long as we turn it off overnight. We're also good running the fridge when using the solar panels for several hours a day and turning off...

Burlington 25
We scored! Back in 2008 when we were here in The Redwoods we camped in a grove of redwoods in our little tent. We remembered that it was in one of the state parks along The Avenue of the Giants but we couldn't remember which campground. Yesterday we visited three...
Chimney Tree Grill
Trying to find a restaurant for a birthday dinner turned into an adventure in and of itself. It wasn't until the third try that we found folks we really wanted to serve us. For a while it seemed as if the answer to Paul Mc Cartney's query, "Will you still feed me,...
Old Cars Amid the Old Trees
After catching on laundry, we left Petaluma this morning and headed up US-101 and marveled at the vineyards and the green and gold hills. We also wondered if this six lane divided highway was the road that we remembered wending it's way through the giant redwoods. As...
Watercourse Way
We two immersed ourselves in soothing waters at Watercourse Way again this morning. Then Karen walked out to meet Lou and savor a cup of jasmine tea while Steve stayed and enjoyed a massage. It's a nice relaxing way to enjoy one of the comforts of our mountain house...
San Jose Giants
What a delightful way to spend a summer's Saturday evening. We went to the ballgame. We enjoyed delightful weather while watching the home team hosting the Stockton Ports from the general admission bleachers in right field. It was fun to be among young families,...
St Stephen’s Green
It's time for lunch and Castro Street is so close! What choice could we make but to walk a mile and choose from a wonderful selection of restaurants? We chose the Irish pub and opted for the outdoor seating. From there we could see and hear some of the coverage of the...
Foothill College Observatory
Meg and Jason took us to the observatory at Foothill College this morning. Our docent was the VP of the Peninsula Astronomical Society. We truly enjoyed looking at sunspots and solar flares, learning about The Carrington Event, and listening to the acoustic effects of...
Castro Street
We ventured out on a walking adventure to downtown Mountain View. We lingered over Tapas and Sangria at Cascal's then wandered to the East West Bookstore where we scored a luscious filmy royal blue silk scarf. At Book Buyers we found two seasons of Indiana Jones on...
La Nebbia Winery
Named for the coastal fog, this is a delightful little winery. No associated vineyard but there is a pretty garden and benches. Sharon is a gracious host. We two did not make it through a full wine tasting and were grateful that Lou had abstained. We did come away...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.
