My trip to San Diego…
OCTOBER 12, 2016. Mum’s been the word about our future plans. But that’s only because we hadn’t formulated them until now. We’ve made some decisions and plotted our course, so in short order I’ll let you know “what’s next.” And perhaps after you know where we’re headed you’ll have some suggestions for us. What to see and … Continue reading
Like a chicken with its head cut off…
WHAT’S COME OVER YOU, GREG? “You’re running around like a chicken with its head cut off. You were so sluggish while you were ill that we’d almost forgotten you could move this fast. So what’s up?” “Here’s the deal. Eight months ago the doctors told my wife I had only a few hours to … Continue reading
Here’s where we’re headed next…
March 10, 2014 “On the road again – Goin’ places that I’ve never been. Seein’ things that I may never see again, and I can’t wait to get on the road again.” -Willie Nelson I love blogging! I like to write…after being a “word merchant” as an attorney for so many years I can’t get … Continue reading

Back to Sweetwater Summit…
FEBRUARY 2, 2014. Exactly three months ago, we started the “shakedown leg” of our Adventure…a loop from San Diego across the desert, through Arizona and back again. We’ve confirmed that this way of life is a blast. We’ve learned a lot about our rig and living on the road. So, we’re ready to attend to … Continue reading
The little town of Julian, California…
JANUARY 20, 2014. From our campsite in Ramona, Julian is just a short drive East on olde Highway 78. It’s an historic gold mining town near Lake Cuyamaca in the Cuyamaca Mountains, a premier mountain retreat, unique in San Diego because it has four distinct seasons. Wildflowers including lots of daffodils bloom in the Spring, … Continue reading

January 19, 2014. Brad’s birthday. Hard to believe he’s grown, married and the father of two little boys. It seems like just yesterday when… We’ll be here in the San Diego area about a month before heading north up the Oregon coast to Washington State to visit Florence’s brother in Toutle, near Mt. St. Helens. … Continue reading
Pechanga RV Resort, Temecula, California..
JANUARY 12, 2014. A BEAUTIFUL SPOT. As you know, we stop occasionally at truck stops and casinos, where we can park overnight free. It’s actually pretty fun, as you know from reading my earlier posts. So, on the way back to San Diego we looked at the map and decided to stop at the Pechanga … Continue reading
Gunner and Mima…
OCTOBER 10, 2013 This is a difficult post to write. It has to do with our two beautiful German Shepherd dogs Gunner and Mima. It’s been seven months since I started this blog and not until this afternoon have I been able to actually write about them…we miss them so much. They used to go … Continue reading

Staging for the trip…saying good-bye….
SEPTEMBER 15, 2013 After our decision to hit the road for a couple years on our Adventure, there was still lots to do. Getting the accumulations of a lifetime moved and divided between our storage facility and the Motor Home was a daunting task. Florence and I thought this might take 3 or 4 days. … Continue reading
Leaving home…
AUGUST 27, 2013 Leaving our “Wise Old Owl Ranch” in Deerhorn Valley near San Diego wasn’t easy to do. It’s a beautiful spot. People ask: “What’s it like to live out there?” Here’s how I describe it , as Summer fades, Fall approaches and our Journey is about to begin: “Just when you begin to … Continue reading
Leaving San Diego…memories since 1970
JULY 4, 2013. I CAME TO SAN DIEGO IN 1970, after graduating from the University of California at Santa Barbara. I decided to stay a while…and my stay turned out to be more than 43 years! Approaching graduation in Santa Barbara and not having any interest in getting a job just yet, I decided that … Continue reading
