Happy Anniversary!

Today is our 19th anniversary, and we are celebrating by greeting visitors and enjoying nature. We've made plans to go to the Redwood Forest National and State Park on our days off next week. We'll leave the camper since it is a long drive and stay at an AirBNB. We are planning other trips on our days off as well. While we are this far west, we decided to take advantage of the places to see.

We've had good weather. It hasn't been too hot yet, and the mornings are still cool enough for us to switch on the electric heater in the camper.

Yesterday we had some excitement. The electricity was off when we arrived before 8 am. Our key and badge would not open the door as the magnetic lock was engaged. Phil had to enter through the Visitor's Center glass doors (not on the alarm system), climb through the windows of the desk, and disengage the alarm. The electric company came and fixed the issue, but then the water shut off, and the wildlife biologist had to fix it while talking by phone to the grounds superintendent who was on vacation. Phil is up to speed if that happens again. It's all in a day's volunteering.Read more
