I guess it's obvious I like visiting the National Parks. I love the outdoors and the beautiful places we have in this country.

The State Parks in California are beautiful too and there are so many of them relatively close by. It makes them easy to visit. Plus they have hot water for showers and hand washing!

The East Bay Region in California has some wonderful parks, on a par with State Parks. Since they are local, they get a lot of use, including by us.

Cruises are lots of fun - you get to eat all this delicious food, you only unpack your bags once, and everything is done for you. You just enjoy the new place you're visiting!

This Red Tailed Hawk was sitting on the trees below our house. My wife took these pictures since I was not around. How sweet that was of her, and she does pretty good photography too.

When we woke up this morning the valley was like a huge bowl of milk. Then the fog started to lift, revealing just the tops of the trees. For 45 minutes we got to watch this amazing sight while having breakfast. It was so beautiful to watch!

I've been working under our house to do some earthquake retrofitting. We have a tall area under our house - large enough for me to stand in. So we have a lot of posts and cripple walls. I've been putting up plywood to strengthen the cripple walls, and t-brackets to hold the posts in place.

I'm also building some retaining walls to help build up the support for three of the posts - these were originally built on the side of a steep slope.

A few days in Gualala, in Mendocino County, while a winter storm created large waves. We got to see the sandbar blocking the Gualala River from the ocean open and close several times. The number of birds was amazing!
