Nuttin
The title pretty much says it. It has been a full week of nuttin’ doing, at least in the adventure department. Instead we are hanging out in Grass Valley with Kerri’s parents (which are quite nice I might add), eating home cooked meals, taking the occasional hot shower and dodging falling limbs (image below). It seems we brought Washington’s rain to California as well. Can’t really complain about it either since California is in such dire need of any rain fall. In fact, the dumping of our gray water right onto the ground is seen as a public service around these parts, since it came from Oregon. Anyway, we linger here for another 10 days, enjoying the sounds and weather of the Sierra foothills, before heading down into the Bay Area once again for my side of the family.
PS – Moose has gotten no less than 8 ticks (5 in one day) since arriving here. His only other ticks in his life came from California as well. There is something wrong with this place.
Update – two more ticks this morning.
I’ve experienced the same thing with my dog Kate in Cali. Traveled 9 western states (not Cali) this past summer and not one. I bet people are always asking what kind of dog Moose is right? I’m enjoying your blog, Thanks
Something about California ticks I guess.
Yes, Moose is asked all the time and I have no idea what he might be. Some Mini-schnauzer in there, but that is all I got.
