Yep-been stacking wood on the front porch, getting ready -supposed to snow on Thursday. I guess these nice quick runs will turn into well thought out and prepared trips into the elements and sure am glad i brought an arctic blanket for the PU-it works. Anyone heading over to the Northern Ca Coast to say good by to your beaches should call the Ca Park and Rec Offices before they go-already shut down Manchester CG-say its seasonal (BS-the only time I go is fall and winter), 2/3rds of the camping slots at MacKichner and West Port Union CG's roped off. I went over expecting to see petitions, ect on all the bill boards asking for help-saw nothing, from what I found out, the p and rec folks are pissed that the parks bill was voted down and have given up the fight, this is one of those things where one group of pols, bluffed another group and the bluff was called and we the public suffer. Yep, sell off those beaches to private ect., make some $- but they can't do it, so they just shut everything down-sort of how WWI started, once the plans got started things couldn't be stopped. Been sending $, signing things on the various web sites and they don't care. Guess I got to find a nice beach in Oregon when I need a break from the desert and mountains-won't be the same-life goes on!
