To the Coast

 Well, we survived the rest of the trip across Nevada with no more mishaps or problems and made it to Ukiah, CA where we got to have a nice long visit with daughter Rachel and her two wonderful girls, Danaya and Raegan.  It was Danaya's birthday week and we got to spend the day with her on a mini shopping spree down in Santa Rosa.  We also got to be real grandparents and attended 'Grandparents Day' at Raegans school.  Very fun.  A day trip to Ft Bragg gave us our first beach day of the trip.  The weather was lovely and Kasha enjoyed the heck out of the beach and ocean entertaining the other beachgoers with her frisbee catching skills.  Our weather timing was perfect too as we were lucky enough to hit the Ukiah area right as the trees were all fully leafing out and everything was spectacularly green.  

After taking off from Ukiah we headed a couple hours north to visit with our friends, Ed and Linda, in Redding, CA.  It was great to visit with them and we got to spend some time in the great home they fairly recently completed in Redding.  While here, we had our first experience with camping at a HipCamp site.  These are camping sites that are on people's property and this one was very nice and private in a beautiful meadow on about 5-acres.  We will be using HipCamp again.


Happy Birthday Danaya
