Today’s blog is a little different. We spent most of the day (morning and early afternoon) driving Highway 1. This is about Highway 1.
I neglected to mention that while we were in Sequoia, Ranger Boy asked John if he had a handicapped permit to save hiking to see the General. Ha, Ranger Boy, John can out hike you.
Highway 1 in California is very long, very twisty, very hilly. There are moments on it that commpletely take your breath away.
Man, I love my HEB in Texas. I miss having pre-marinated meats to grill.
Gas prices in California makes me appreciate living in Texas.
When you can see it through the fog, the North West coast is the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.
Showers. We have had showers that you have to use a token to make it work for a 7 minute shower. We have had cold showers. We have had showers that you have to push a button for 10 seconds of water flow. I counted. You just have to keep pushing the button.
People in Texas seem friendlier than in California, but I would not say that was true in Utah and Nevada.
There are sure a lot of people who ride bicycles in California. It’s pretty cool.
I am really enjoying hearing from friends and family about this blog. It makes me feel good. I have tried to make it so people can comment, but I don’t know if that worked or not. I don’t think it did. When I have enough wifi, I spend my time on trying to get pictures uploaded instead of figuring out how to get comments.
Who swims in the Pacific ocean up here? It’s pretty chilly.
Why do people make a campfire when it’s 90 degrees plus outside? I mean, I understand if it’s to cook or make s’mores or something, but they just make the fire. I like the smell of a campfire too, but not when it’s that hot.
California smells good. There are a lot of wildflowers and planted flowers.
You can still burn your feet on the beach, even if you get in an icy cold ocean and it’s 65 degrees outside.
There are lots of creatures that live in tide pools at low tide. They are little micro-cosims.
There are a whole lot of little villages on Highway 1 with a population of under 500 people. None of them have a McDonalds. They are very pretty and the buildings are so charming.
The Pacific ocean water is blue, sky blue, turquoise, teal, white, sea green, foam green, silver and gold. The land next to the ocean is dark brown, tan, light brown, black, yellow, burnt sienna, purple, forest green, green, amber, and charcoal. I think that’s why they make crayola boxes with so many colors.
Do I sound Californian?
