Peacocks or "Here We Go Again"

Here we are in Petaluma California (40 miles N of San Fransisco) on the 105th anniversary of the San Fransisco earthquake. There is a definite chill in the air, with a little moisture on the ground, and fog in the air. We will be here for 2 nights to visit with my cousin Bob and cousin-in-law (?) Mabel who live in Cotati.

The trip here was an interesting one as it took us through the high desert of California to the Pacific coast. We left Apache Junction Saturday morning with the temperatures predicted to reach the mid 90's. We spent the night in Lancaster California where I believe it was in the upper 90's. We arrived in Petaluma about 4:30 Sunday afternoon to partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid 60's. It may be time to put the shorts back in the closet.

I had a South Dakota flashback this morning when I opened the curtains to find 3 Peacocks/Peahens walking around outside the coach. I'll be keeping a sharp eye out to see if they bring more of their kind tomorrow! At least there's no snow on the ground.

Tomorrow we will be heading north up the coast on 101. With a little luck the weather will be good as it's a beautiful drive. We will probably roll in on Thursday, but we could get in late in the evening on Wednesday. So, this will be the last post until we get home.

Stay dry, Ernie
