I rode in the motorhome today with Tom and we went to Les Schwab in Valejo to get new front tires. That took most of the morning but we got it done. I was the co-pilot using my Google Maps to get us through the city. Tom is very hard of hearing so I had to yell directions and he missed a couple and we had to back track. That is not easy with a motorhome pulling a trailer. We had one mishap with a corner turned to sharp and the motorhome rear bumper hooked the front bumper of a car and pulled it off. YIKES!! That took a bunch of time with the insurance and phone number exchanges. The guy was very nice about getting his front bumper ripped off.
The rest of the crew peddled across the Golden Gate Bridge and through San Fransico without mishap and then along the coast on highway one until they reached the KOA campground at Santa Cruz. They rode over 70 miles today with a lot of hills. I have some pictures to send with this blog but the wifi is so poor in this campground that I can’t get them to send, tomorrow. I had several long discussions with people who ask what we are doing and they are always amazed at our adventure, especially when they hear that half the group is over 70 years old. OK, now I am going to see if I can get this to send.
I don’t know where you were to decide to stop in Vallejo for tires. But I would have told you to stop in Vacaville if at all possible. I hope one of you were concealed carry. Vallejo is a tough place to be. So happy you are safe and the man’s car you hit was a good guy. I guess I need to pray more for your safety.
Ah Santa Cruz. Use to be a favorite place to go for the day. Enjoy the ride down the coast hwy.

Maybe next time you can be the pilot and the rest of the crew helpers. My GPS gives verbal directions (most of the time). Safe travels from here on out. Everyone’s Great-grandma Sherry Palomo in Arizona, 75 years STRONG!
