Uphill with Tarantula

I always thought, once we get to Central California, the mountains will slowly disappear and we'd have to climb less. Totally wrong, we are actually climbing more than ever, as some valleys are almost down at sea level and the next mountain rises up to 2000m.
So today, we started at an elevation of 300m, went down to 100m, climbed up to 1300m. Luckily, there was not much traffic on Dunlap Road, so we could enjoy the views. Halloween is coming up soon and some houses are already decorated extensively. We also had time to watch a "little" Tarantula walking on the road. It didn't care but us at all.
In the afternoon, we arrived at Daniel's and Marilyn's mountain cabin. We got a warm welcome, the gave us a tour around their amazing property and we had interesting conversations over dinner.Leggi altro
