There have been some last minute changes such as leaving on Monday instead of Sunday. And, originally there were going to be 6 of us caravaning together from California to New Orleans. Now there are 3 leaving now and 4 leaving in the middle of the week. We will all meet up in Carmine TX on Saturday 4/3. Are you still there? Are you confused? Yes, there are 7 going now.
I left at 9:30 this a.m. in drizzle and arrived 3 hours later in Lodi to meet up with Kris. Connie and Zola were in Lodi to meet us. They are Sisters I have been to Kearn River with the past three years but they are not going to the New Orleans Giddy Up.
The drive to Visalia was, thankfully, uneventful. The vineyards are greening beautifully and there were lots of wild flowers along the side of the road. Hope the deserts are in bloom as we continue to move south towards Tuscon.
We arrived in Visalia and are staying at Kaarin and Jim's tonight. We had a fabulous home cooked meal and had great conversation at the dinner table about Italy, Mortgages , etc.
Another change in the itinerary is that we are not going to Blythe but rather on to Phoenix where we will be having dinner and spending the night at Maurrie's. She is one of the founders of Sisters on the Fly.
It is a beautiful evening in Visalia and the review of the snow covered southern Sierras was wonderful. It was 78 degrees when we arrived at 4:30 and now there is a full moon and a balmy evening. Kaarin's lilacs are blooming just outside The Double Bar O. I think I will sleep very well tonight.
