Sunday Morning Lodi, CA

Sunday morning in Lodi, California at Flag City RV Resort. Hmm Resort, well a nice place to stay after a long drive from BC to California. Three days on the road, 1st from Crofton to Port Angeles Ferry in Victoria, through slush, snow, and pouring rains we pushed forth knowing warmth and sun would come forth. Nice evening at the Seven Feathers Casino, where we hooked up to power for free, and kept things warm, and Bosco with some music so he wouldn’t feel so lonely, while we had dinner, and dropped a few coins.

Just heard the birds outside, sounds like spring here, beautiful sound first thing (6am) in the morning. Loving life... Even Bosco’s head is up wondering what that sound is!

Sleep was good Thursday night, and woke up cool weather with winds rising, and rain on its way. Coffee and a chat with Polly, a walk with Bosco, and off we go before 8am. Rain and wind day alright, blowin strong, and rain same, and we push through to the sun.

After about 1/2 hr, we see a flat bed semi parked in the ditch, I mean really in the ditch. The ditch is about 6 ft deep and the truck is perfectly parked, trailer and all in the ditch! I say “That's not the way to park!” Polly laughs, and we push on. A picture we had on our newly purchased Dash cam, but did we know how to preserve it? Not yet, but will learn as we go. The rain and wind keep getting harder as we make our way along hwy 101 to Olympia, and I-5. The water is beside us, and we saw many times when would be nice to have a picture, but not too inviting to take a sap. Road is narrow, and weather just not a good time. So Polly and I talk about when we will take a little more time next time we make this trip, and spend some time to stop and look around here.

Polly asks things I can’t answer, and always tests my sense of Hmm. She makes me think harder than I want to sometimes... LOL Asking as we drive along, How will they get that truck out of the ditch? OK I think, as I drive through the rain, wind, and windy road, How would they? I say the can’t just pull it out sideways, and pulling it back would be a loss as too far, must have driven 200 ft before it stopped. I say Crane and have to stop traffic for awhile. This satisfies my honey, and we push on to the sun, as the rains keep coming.

The drive is beautiful, with water on our left as we go almost all the way to Olympia. Really a beautiful place to drive, and see.

Polly is up now wondering “What time is it?” now back to bed... Love my Polly.

We make it onto I-5 and get to Chehalis, time to get some fuel, and a couple of snacks, and drinks.

Polly now asks “Is there coffee on now?” Yep she is awake, and will be up soon, Polly takes a little time to get up, but she doesn’t run outa energy and need a nap like me during the day. Reminding me of last night she says “I dreamed of Turtles all night!” I laugh, as we had no TV when we went to bed, and she had to work her way to sleep, I should tell her a story! LOL so I did, and she will remember that one for awhile... Was a fun way to go to sleep for both of us. Time to get on with our day, more later.
