In California...............

We arrived in Woodland about 1300 today and are presently camped out in front of Steve and Rhonda's house until they come home from work.

We had intended to spend the day in Fallon, NV and hunt down some geocaches and then head for Woodland on Friday. I was watching the weather reports and got scared...........when we got to Fallon it was short-sleeve shirt weather; but, the forecast for tonight was 28 degrees with rain and snow coming in. Didn't want to travel over the mountains in that kind of weather so we abandoned Fallon and had a nice drive to Woodland in bright, sunny weather.

Birthday party this weekend for Becky's youngest grandson, Bryce, so we'll hang around and probably head for Corning Sunday afternoon.

Spent a good part of the day on Wednesday in Tonopah caching with la84fishn and we finally left there with 50 cache finds under out belt. Grabbed a few more alongside the road on the way to Fallon. We managed to visit the commissary and exchange while at NAS Fallon since we probably won't be seeing any other military facilities for quite awhile. Stocked up on some of those "cheaper" items while we were there.

Anyways, just wanted to let everyone know where we were and what our plans were. I got a doctor appointment in Chico on Monday and then I'll probably drive up to Washington sometime next week. I bought some goodies for my Rhino when I stopped in Lake Havasu City so will deliver them to Doug and John for installation. Got a "first" appointment with orthopedics in late April so will return to Washington for that. Need to get the old knee (or possibly knees) taken care of as soon as I can.

That's it for us..............now we're only about 95 miles from "stick house"! W&B
