Good morning Vagabonds.Looking good today, low humidity, no rain in the forecast. (yippee).Jan, the animal park you described sounded similar to Park Safari African, an animal park in Canada. You enter in your car and drive through the different arias representing all the continents on earth except Antarctica. There is also a walk though part with the more gentile animals to pet and feed.I and both my nephews (they were much younger then) and my sister road an elephant and other things (too long ago to remember everything)..Rita, sounds a good time is being had by all..God bless ya all, catch ya later..ttfn
The big party was a blast! Great food, and everyone had a good time. Our son turned on Pandora for “Elmo” songs, and when the 2 year old was tired of that, he took requests. Jack asked for Harry Belafonte’s Zombie Jamboree, only if I’d dance with him to it. Well……..that set off all kinds of silly stuff, with Staying Alive, all the way down to the Chicken Dance. The other Grandpa video recorded it, can’t wait to see what fools we were……….and I am so sore today!
Another good day planned, our last full day here in San Diego. (weather has been in the 80’s and HUMID!!!)
Mark, I have been to two different drive-thru safari parks, one in Irvine, CA (Lion Country Safari – not there anymore) and one in Winston, OR. Yesterday’s was walk-thru only. We did manage to freak out Blaze. We tracked some of the smells back into the RV and he’s been very skittish ever since.
Today’s leg was all on the 101 Hwy through the redwoods. Some of it was pretty hairy, but it was a nice drive. We stopped at a turnout to fix lunch, then took a walk. We played “boy scout” and picked up the trash in the turnout while we were there. Good exercise. We are at the Russian River for a few days, during which time we hope to check out some of the local wineries. Michael tripped on an uneven bit of sidewalk outside of the lodge here, and he tore up his leg pretty will landing in the gravel. He’s okay, but he’ll be uncomfortable for a while.
The weather here is in the mid 80’s and will be for the time we are here, with overnight lows in the mid 50’s. It’s really nice in the shade though. We have a pretty well shaded campsite.
Pinto has figured out another way to escape the RV. The screen door has a panel which is closed when the main door is open, and open to access the handles of the main door when it is closed. I left the panel open the other day while I was standing outside, and he managed to squeeze his body out that hole. He’s a stubborn little brat, too. Hard to catch when he doesn’t want to.

Good morning Vagabonds.
Still waiting for the rain we are supposed to be having now.
Today and this week, more of the same weather as we have been having.
