Okay guys, I had planned to be out and about when I turned 70 a couple of weeks ago 
-you know sitting in a favorite place, vodka in hand, great book on the stand,and dog with ball in mouth. Well it seems turning 70 means a real life change-not like when I retired or was old enough for social security. The weather was great for "wandering", but not for the environment but I'm still here Instead of being on the road! You see, I had to for starters to (1) get a new drivers license and I actually had to go down in person to show them I was alive., (2) go down to the doctor and in person renew my prescriptions- again to make sure I was alive and to chart out a new "keep me alive" plan. And it was real below average cold here-which hampered even my daily "Bob" walks and a woke my arthritis . All these things took time-as does everything these days it seems!
All these things on top of the usual things like taxes, renewing insurance and most importantly, watching my beloved "49ers" in the play-offs , that is until my life ended a couple of weeks ago. Well all these things are done, the truck is outside charging up, the top is up and I'm packing her up, have two propane tanks filled, and the gas tank is topped off-and a bag of soup bones for Bob. The weather is still great, but there is a chance of snow later this week-a slight chance, but never the less "a chance". So where do I go-somewhere new or and old stand by. I got some info from some of you down in central Ca about that area, & getting there any which way but I-5, and lot's of neat TRs to look at for ideas, or i might go to the north coast and sit for a while at West Port Landing SB, then North up into Oregon/Washington-could even head into central Nevada and hope for good weather-but real cold weather really bothers my arthritis (that being 70 again thing), maybe down (or up) 395 and just "wander"! I even looked at the BLM Fort Ord web site-where I spent a few months running over sand dunes many moons ago-but alas no camping there. It's winter, but doesn't look like it so who knows what's open and for how long, and can't really visit any of the NPS parks because "Bob" needs a place to run !
Sooo, the question is where do I go, seeing how that I like allot of us -I never thought I'd never make 70 in the first place! And what should I bring along? Like a got something new-a couple boxes of all ready broke in half vermicelli (don't have to break 'em in half any more before i dump them in the pot-wow). It must be time to "adventure the west" in my FWC. Don't need to see allot of people either while out and about! Any ideas!
