Spent some time driving to a vineyard/tasting room near US199 along the CA/OR border. The smell of growing/flowering Cannabis was strong as we drove. Our server in the tasting room talked freely about growing and using Cannabis. It was nice and I expect a result of weed being legal for years. Her husband also works for a vineyard but she doesn't drink, just smokes. For some reason I find that amusing.
We are in the middle of "June gloom" on the coast and have seen little sun for weeks except when driving a few miles inland. The tasting patio, about an hour inland, was nice with sunshine, swans and geese on the pond and a cheese plate with some very nice wine. A good way to get away from the gloom.
One month almost down, three to go before returning to Tucson.
Sounds like you are enjoying yourselves. Happy retirement and 4th of July.
ReplyDeleteBob, where the rain never seems to stop lately
Bob,
ReplyDeleteSame here, June now July gloom is in full force. Not much rain but dense fog and drizzle. Still beats the 40*C if we were in Tucson.

We just went to Portland and the coast to visit with our daughter before she finished an assignment in Oregon. We took a couple of days in Cannon Beach which was spectacular. What a beautiful state. Makes me wonder where someone who lived there would go on vacation.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, every camper I came across I approached and asked "Are you Ken Hatch and Mrs. Bubba?" No luck. Furthest south on the coast was Cape Lookout near Tillamook.
I totally understand the attraction to summer in that part of the country.
