Beautiful Clearlake in California

Beautiful Clearlake in California
Pacific Ocean/Mendocino Feb 2016
Update: March 6th, 2016.
After a very very long year of learning to live a new life with my most recent handicap. I am getting movement in my arm!! :) It started the end of August and has been progressing, slowly. My issues with paranioia and depression are also getting better. I am confident that things will continue to progress. However, loosing a whole YEAR of my life is devastating to say the least. However, keeping a positive attitude for the most part has been a huge challenge, but I do it. I am grateful to all my family and friends that have been so encouraging and helpful. Thank you..

Celebration of Birthdays at the Riviera/ Rudy Smith/Jim Walsh/ Ev Swesey

All of us have been traveling all summer and this was our first get together after a couple of months of not seeing each other. We thought it would be a great excuse to celebrate the “guys” birthdays.. Rudy first with July 14, then Jim July 26, and my Evee August 6th.. We also met some new friends! Fun people Andi & Skip..
Saw some long time friends whom I had not seen in awhile.. That would be Louis & Anita.. Smile So sweet.. I worked with Anita back in the 80’s in the “pink tent” doing flowers.. She is still just as beautiful as ever.. Louis is very handsome too.. Great couple!

The ambiance at the Riv was so lovely last night.. We were sitting out on the patio drinking wine, eating dinner, catching up on each other travels, dancing.. just real fun! Lots of wine too about 6 or 7 bottles? Oh Lord.. no wonder I had a headache this morning!
Today is going to be completely “down” day, you know, “movie day”..  Smile

Lake Davis 7/17-7/19/15

After leaving Twin Lakes we headed to Lake Davis for a couple of days..We were a bit nervous thinking we might not get a place to park/camp with it being the weekend. We arrived and there a quite a few spots still available.. but by dark most were filled.. good thing we got there early..
The weather here is perfect.. not to hot and not too cool.. we did some thrift store shopping and some groceries.. We all headed down to the shore of the lake to take in some relaxation/swimming/fishing and meeting new people..
Saturday evening we had quite the summer thunder/lightning/rain storm.. Thankfully it was pretty dry when packing up.. Smile
Had a really great week with everyone! Thanks for everything!

Reno/Twin Lakes/Bodie 7/11-7/17

We started out on Saturday morning to head to Reno to meet up with Rick & Lynn/Phil & Toni/Mike & Maryann..
Rick & Lynn arrived before us at the GSR (Grand Sierra Resort) in Reno.. Mike & Maryann couldn’t make it Saturday night..
We all hung out for awhile then went and had dinner at the buffet..
Fun time was had by all..


Sunday morning we went to Scheels sporting goods, its like a Cabella’s a bit cheaper maybe.. Smile Where Ev caught the big one at Scheels!

Horsed around Scheels for a  couple of hours then headed over to Mike & Maryann’s.. Rick & Lynn were on the road to Las Vegas and to other parts unknown.. Smile Phil & Toni followed us over to M & M for a brief visit then they were off to friends in Yerington. We would meet up with them on Monday at Twin Lakes.
We stayed at M & M’s on Sunday evening.. This is our own private bed & breakfast/dinner.. Smile They always wine and dine us..

Monday morning we hit the road about 9ish am, heading for Twin Lakes.. Phil & Toni were already at the campground when we got there.. We were all a bit disappointed in the camping arrangements here.. When we say ad for Twin Lakes RV resort we were under the impression it was a lot closer to the lake and we were packed in like ‘sardines’.. Oh well we decided to make the best of it.. And we did.. We got all set up (all spaces were back in and round like a wagon wheel). Then took a ride to actually see the lakes.. They were beautiful but difficult to get down to the lake.. As it turned out we spent no time on the lake at all while we were there for the 4 nights..
On Tuesday we hung at the creek across the road, Walker creek I think.. did some fishing.. Later that afternoon M & M came in and stayed with us in the trailer..

Wednesday we too a ride over to Bodie a ghost town just south east of Bridgeport..We also went down to Mono Lake and checked it out for about an hour..

Thursday M & M headed for home.. We on the other had decided to drive over to Buckeye Creek where we heard there was a Hot Springs..  Fun was had by all..

On Friday morning we packed up and decided to go over to Lake Davis at Portola, CA about an hour northwest of Reno..
