It’s always a pleasure to meet fellow travelers and especially nice to have a face to face meeting with travelers whom we’ve become friends with online. However there’s always a tiny bit of trepidation – do we really have anything in common, will we even like each other, are they nefarious criminals planning dastardly deeds? :-D Not to fear – our meet ups have ranged from interesting to very enjoyable, with most at the later end of the spectrum. So when blogger friend, Dave and his wife Marcia, and Tony and I happened to be in the same place at the same time we were looking forward to finally meeting them. Little attention was paid to the food (although it was very good) as we sat around a restaurant table for over four hours but we got a lot of talking and laughing in. We were having so much fun that I forgot to take any pictures so I had to steal a couple from Dave’s blog. :-)
Dave and Marcia are on their way to Alaska, a trip that was planned for last spring but unfortunately the storage area where they kept their RV caught on fire. By the time they found a replacement motorhome it was too late to go all the way to Alaska so the trip had to be postponed but they’re on their way this year! I think the trip officially starts at the end of May. Follow along on their blog - http://goingrvway.blogspot.com/
Have a great trip Dave and Marcia! See you down the road!
Thanks Karen. I said this in response to your comment on our blog, but will repeat it here...."Remember, Burney Falls, just north of Lassen. You also might want to continue along CA-89 to the town of McCloud, an interesting place." Tell Tony hello, I know he has his head into a game by now.....lol --Dave
ReplyDeleteYep, Tony's deep into his game.:-D
DeleteI marked Burney Falls in the map so we won't miss it. From the photos on the website it looks spectacular. We're probably going up 99 instead of 49 because we want to stop and visit the sister of a good friend of ours who lives around Corning but we'll definitely stop at Mount Shasta, then onto Burney.
If you like olives (and I'll bet Tony does) then you will enjoy Corning, the Olive Capital of California!
DeleteYes, a stop at the Olive Pit is in our plans! I'm just getting around to liking olives but I've discovered that tree ripened olives are really good. They're hard to find and expensive but worth it.
DeleteWe love Burney Falls although we haven't been in probably 15 years. Lassen is also one of our favorite spots in Northern Calif.
ReplyDeleteTwo recommendations for Burney Falls! We'll make sure we stop there. :-)
