Hmmm…as I get older I much prefer the colder weather. And I don’t really care how cold it gets…25 below is the record here, but from 5 below or warmer is fine with me.
I dislike the heat more and more with each passing year…so why do I hang around here during the summer?? It’s usually 90 to 100 and **humid!!! **
Lovin’ this year, though. The weather pundits say we may not see 90 for the rest of the summer…now *that’s *what I call nice!
The hottest day I ever spent was not too far from Jeff’s turf in Acton, Ca. 50 miles straight north of L.A. where actess Tippi Hedren (‘The Birds’) owns a large cat preserve. My wife and I arrived at noon and their thermometer read 118 degrees. We had to leave within 20 minutes…
We’re planning a road trip up California Highway 1 on Labor Day weekend. ‘The Birds’ was filmed in Bodega Baywhich will be one of our many stops along the coast. Should be nice weather in Sept.
We’re staying in San Francisco the first day then heading up the coast the next morning. We’re spending the night in Eureka ,then heading to Redwood Nat’l Park which is just up to the north of Eureka. Then I think we’ll take 101 south and visit wine country.
Sounds like you’re in for a great trip. When heading back South on 101, you will run through the Redwood forests again. Take a few minutes and stop at some of the tourist traps. They are disappearing like crazy. Fun throwback to a simpler time.
When we were in Eureka, there were large elk feeding right along the shore of the ocean in grassy areas. It was an amazing sight. They are easily agitated so don’t piss them off. :shock:
