Day 9

 

Butler-Abrams walk and flood control


     Internet gone this morning as we arise. Of course the dog park. Mike walked half way and I rode the bike so I could return and get the van and pick up S and D. Internet came up as I was calling Apple to fuss. Fixed the sliding door that wouldn't lock. Soon off to ride with M and a guy named John. Cool still.

     Rode with M and J for an hour and a half. Scored some windfall citrus and made a date with J for the dog park in the am. He has a lab doodle pup one of many in the world these days as with the miniature Aussies. S recovered and I met Frank and Ric coming up the sidewalk to M's; F under the weather from the second vaccine shot. S and D and I went southeast to Rancho Mirage again for to walk the Butler-Abrams trail between a subdivision and a huge flood control channel. Later to Von's for something from the deli there (pork buns, capellini salad with arugula and tomatoes. Hot tub.

After chewing through leash, D works next table at Roly's  crime scene       Well, there was 3 kinds of nut butter and toast for breakfast which is normal. Stalled until the tide went out and we went off to Jamala, a beach to the north almost to Vandenberg Air Force Base. There was a little store that offered hamburgers and we had them on a table by the ocean. Walked the beach. Circled home through the Santa Ynez Valley, the Melville Winery in there, over San Marcos Pass and Richard came over for gin and tonic so we caught up a bit and he was off. The day wound down then.

  front Dust       S to DP, me to fitness. Spoke by phone to R in Seattle about Xmas playlist and the turbulence of her flight out of the valley quartering the power wind. Began to pack the van for tomorrow as we will ramble north. Wind in the forecast. Heading for the Carrizo Plain National Monument, the largest native grassland left in California (1,200 sq miles) which may be a vast carpet of flowers. Biked with M to the Deep Well community, the Revival thrift store for pillow case and Rite Aid for ice cream in a cup, butter pecan. M, S, D and me up into Desert Palisades for the last time and then to M's for dinner which was super-good. Also Ralph's for supplies for the road.
