Day 555 - California

 

Our speedy visit to Santa Rosa was amazing. Connecting with friends and family is always special. Meg's hugs were needed. Mom, Marie, and Rodney kept us laughing. Catching up with Ron and Mary Lee was fabulous. Getting coffee with Kathy and Lauren made the visit complete.

Day 547- Arizona- Scottsdale-Goldfield

 

Giants games were a hit - they may have a chance this year! 


Max Stassi a Yuba City, California kid, where he was a 4-time varsity star, won three section titles, and posted a .514 career batting average with 40 home runs. He also won gold with the US National Team in the 2006 Pan American Game. I met him while he raise funds for local food banks in 2008. 


Goldfield, Arizona, founded in 1893, was a booming gold mining town in the Superstition Mountains. Its rapid rise and fall resulted in its current status as a popular tourist attraction in Apache Junction, Arizona







Fellow Oregon State Park Camphosts Art and Jeanette made our day.

Dan, Lynn and Brian joined the party at an epic Dueling Piano show.
