Pyramid Lake

Pyramid Lake is alongside Interstate 5 between Tejon Pass and Valencia. I snapped this picture of the lake on our way home from Paso Robles. You can see why they call it ‘pyramid.’ The vacation is almost over, but the memories linger. We will post more about our summer adventure in the weeks ahead. Click the image to enlarge.

At Mom’s Rock Today

Just before departing up scenic Highway 1, we paused to get this self-portrait of us with Morro Rock in the distance.

Mom’s Rock

Today, we’re at one of my Mother’s favorite places on Earth, Morro Bay. Mom says that this is her rock. Verna took this photo today when the fog was barely obscuring the top of the rock. We’re camping in an RV park right on the beach, and have this view when we take Bear for a walk. Click image to enlarge.

Warm Day for a Cool Dog

When we went to pick up the RV today, we had to wait a bit while they got the rig ready for us. It was rather warm today and Bear was ventilating doggie-style. It’s a good thing we got her hair trimmed for summer, or she might have been even warmer.

We’ll start posting vacation pictures tomorrow. We’re in a campground near Buellton tonight. The real sightseeing starts tomorrow.

A New Toy

Just in time for the Summer vacation! The new GARMIN nüvi GPS system. It’s a good medium entry level navigation system with enough features to be helpful, and simple enough for a neophyte to use. It worked right out of the box with a brilliant display, spoken directions and a 3D perspective map.
