Day 29


Heading to White Water

at Roly's

working the crowd

remnant of leash

     S, R and I and of course D slipped over to the DP. By 10 am we were on our way to the White Water Preserve where we met M and put in four miles up the wide wet wash, D bounding in all directions illegally. Post hike there was something like a 21/2 hour rest period with some light swimming by S and R. Dinner by the pool at Roly's where D blithely chewed his new leash into half a dozen pieces and made the ladies at the next table giddy with his natural charm. Green curry chicken and Mongolian tofu with a side of lobster dumplings and shishito roasted peppers. Drinks were four cucumber gimlets and two red ritas with a white wine on the side for a total of 7 among we 4. Long stroll back to van which continues to look super spic and span. Degrees at 7 pm were 70 it having been a warm day in the low 80's. After sunset there was a nice breeze under black and starry skies.

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.
