I owe lots of gratitude to a number of individuals for making it possible to take this 5 week long trip. First, my wife Carol who stayed behind and took care of all my chores at home and also submitted those encouraging comments. To, Elaine and Fresenius supporting me all the way. I could never have taken this trip if it had not been for their support at all hours.
My thanks to Lori for allowing me to stay in her place. As a result of meeting her I had to change my mindset regarding Oakland. She also found my old Army Buddy Dan at Palo Cedro, one of my highlights. Thank you to my daughters Hillary and Margaret for planning the days at Bolinas and Pt. Reyes. Thank you also Nina, without your suggestion I would never have experienced FtBragg and Mendocino. Thank you also my readers and your special comments. Every comment on your part encouraged me even more.
Finally, does technology matters on a trip such this one?
It is amazing that a little sliver like this I-touch provides you with all the tools you need to keep a blog. It was amazing to me that I would not have a cell signal for my phone, but encounter a WiFi network almost anywhere. I could keep up with was going on in the world, except in Oregon where they blocked access to my German daily newspaper, because someone had detected a top less woman on it. I was also thankful to the brilliance of daughter Hillary. She remembered that she could revive her I-Phone, which had all our Bolinas driving instructions, by plugging it into her laptop. At close to midnight surrounded by pitch black terrain we were considering spending the first night in the car. Technology was very important as we would not step into a restaurant, unless the girls consulted with "yelp" an I-Phone application.
Finally, Carol and I have to work on our airport pick-up routine do we can shorten a 6 hour wait on my part. Like two ships passing in the middle if the night we were missing each other. I thought she would meet me at curb lane, she looked for me at the carrousel inside. Her cell phone was safely back home in the other car. Many thanks to my good friend Charlie who picked me up at after one a.m. and took me to emergency. Good friends are priceless.
I am still awaiting results on a Catscan regarding my internal bleeding and I do hope they will find the root cause soon.
Regarding this blog. I am not sure if I want to continue it. It had been a lot of fun. The people I have met on this trip have been special and I do hope you have enjoyed reading about them. There was Sharon who upgraded my room in the Redwoods along with Steve and Thor, there was Theresa who made the week in Ft Bragg possible. I do hope that I get to the Pacific Coastline again, except Santa Cruz. If you have been to Panama City Fl you'll know.
God Bless!
