We left Jenny's RV park about 8:30 and got breakfast at Katrinas. It was already hot, and there were not very many people out for breakfast like usual. We visited the Auburn farmers market, then went to see Mom Tomczak for a short while then drove to Sacramento. I got to Dad's place in time to share dessert with him at his lunch time - birthday cake for another resident - Yummy.
By now it was SO HOT, we decided to beat the heat and spend the rest of the afternoon at a coffee shop - Peet's - on Howe Ave until about 5:30 when we hit the road and drove north on I-5 for a couple hours to ROlling Hills Casino near Corning where we stopped for the night. It was like an oven indoors, (but lovely outside as the sun was setting), so we went into the casino for dinner then turned on the air conditioning for sleep.

Fri. June 28, 2013 Hot!
Today I worked at home in the AM while it was still cool in the shade. I had lunch with Lou and Nicole, then coffee with Laurie to catch up with client news. Mike and I ran personal errands in the afternoon, then dropped in to see Kelly and Glenda and jump in their newly installed pool for a cooling dip and to catch up with family news.
We swung by the storage unit for a change of wardrobe in preparation cooler climate, then went home to pack for the road. Leaving for Oregon tomorrow.

Thurs., June 27, 2013 - heating up
I visited one local client, then drove to Sacramento to see another, and visited with Dad before coming back home to Jenny's RV park. Simple salad for dinner - it is heating up outside - too hot to cook.
Wed. June 26, 2013 - Catching up with Rich and Dollie
Dentist, massage and visit with Mom Tomczak and local clients during the day.
After work we visited and had dinner with Rich and Dollie at their house. It is starting to warm up, so we got to sit out on their back porch and watch the sunset over the coastal mountains. Dang - I forgot to take a picture:(

Tues. June 25, 2013 - get away day. New Hogan to Auburn
We did another productive trash pick along the campground roadway and one campsite loop to complete our 60 hours of volunteer work for the 3 week period. We turned in our radio, paint supplies and paperwork at HQ (headquarters) then hit the road for the almost 2 hour drive to Auburn.
We stayed in town for the afternoon - I got my hair cut and we did client work.
Then we drove up to our resting spot near Lake of the Pines to park in Jenny's upper driveway.....
where I leave my car while not in town. Thanks, Jenny and Pat - it is a very comfortable spot and every bit as beautiful as Cape Lookout and New Hogan Lake!

Mon, June 24, 2013 - change of plans due to rain
Due to the prediction of rain, the camp really emptied out early last night. Who wants to pack up in the rain ( if you don't camp in Oregon and have a choice-that is)? So this morning we did a trash pick instead of painting. It wasn't a downpour, but definitely too wet to paint. Then I did laundry. Met another woman there who said she has been traveling with her husband for nine years and still loves it!
We decided to check out with ranger John tonight so we could leave earlier in the morning than we had planned with Alicia since we will not be painting. He came by our campsite and we talked for quite a while about water resource management and life.
Split pea soup for dinner and we pack up outside and in to prepare for travel tomorrow.

Sun. June 23,2013 - scrape and paint
Today the weather started to change. It made for a good morning of picnic table prep and painting. We finished table #8 and got #9 prepped for tomorrow. We called Ranger Alicia on our radio to come look at the next ones in line and she ruled out the need to paint two which were rotted in spots. We are almost out of paint for the tables, so will switch to road sign posts soon.
After volunteer work was done, we prepped for dinner - our first stab at home made pizza since we left Woodhaven.
We spent a couple hours at Common Grounds, then baked it up. Delicious! Tonight was out last night of patio sleeping - rain and cool is predicted for tomorrow.
