Camptonville...

This past weekend I went up to Camptoniville, CA. It's just north of Lake Tahoe in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mt range. I found these pictures on-line to share with everyone a glimpse of what I got to see this weekend. There are supposedly mountain lions and rattle snakes out that way - but the only thing I saw was something that looked like a scorpian near the river. The house I stayed at is on the Middle Yuba River. There are loads of swimming holes along the river and it's about 5 miles from a very long lake that flows into a river. The water was so clean and clear! It was the most beautiful green-blue color. It reminded me of the sea when I was in Nice, France. Pretty much it is up in gold country where all of the mining took place during the gold rush. Lots of history up there. I can't imagine people living there year round though - they get the most snow out of anywhere in the country... even more than Buffalo NY! :) :P








These are both pictures of the Yuba river... this was pretty much at the bottom of the family's property. I spent a bit of time sitting near it.





Well only a few more days here and then I'm off on a plane to see Sean - I am getting so excited!!! The wedding will be SO much fun and to make it even better I get to see Sean so all will be great!!! :) 3 days... and counting!

The weekend is upon us!!

I can not believe that tomorrow if Friday. It feels like today is Tuesday so i'm all screwed up. Today we had a great day - had some delicious food made by the great mexican's in Pacifica. Anyone out this way should check it out. .. El Toro Loco. :)
One week til I get to see Sean!!! I am SO excited. It feels like I haven't seen him in a month - well, it will be 2 weeks..
Nothing else too strange going on... oh! The president of my class from high school contacted me and they are trying to plan a 10th year reunion for next summer... not so sure I care enough to go to something like that. What do ya'll think. I dunno - the only person I really would want to see is Amanda - and I could just skip all the drama and fake people who don't give a shit where I am in life anyways schmoozin'.
:P I don' think I'll end up going. It will probably just be the people that all stayed friends because they all got stuck in my hometown and never left!

So what's the plan for this weekend. Snuffy's anyone?!?!!? I'll be here... working and perhaps going to the line dancing place alone :( Oh well I'll just down a beer and dance the night away...

San Francisco!

This was Kristen, Mike and my first time stepping on a Pacific Ocean beach our whole trip.. what fun it was. We had Taco Bell on the ocean and after Kristen and I got brave and put our feet in the cold ocean water. What fun.. FREE FUN :)





This is a picture of a flower.. it was taken near Santa Barbara, CA. This is the kind of flower you find a lot out here.. very different than back east.






Last but not least... the transamerica building. It makes for a beautiful touch to the San Francisco skyline. Miss you Kristen and Mike.. come back quick... Now I am just waiting patiently for my other half to get his butt out here.. then I will be complete again. Who will ever go to the country line dancing place... Yee Haw Seaner...

The Cannery

These were all taken at The Cannery... it is a building in the fisherman's wharf area. I loved the way the light was shining in and out of places so I took a few pictures.

City Lights

This is the awesome bookstore near the Garden of Eden... bar.. ummm place :) that we took Marisa to way back in the day.. good times

The Fruth about the Elk... and the Ram's too!

So I would just like to set the record straight. When you are driving in New Mexico and Arizona there are signs for Elk... for like 60 miles! Now if you saw signs for Elk for a good portion of your trip - wouldn't you think the chance of seeing one would be HIGH?!?!?! Well I have something to tell you all.

THERE ARE NO ELK!!!

The FRUTH :) is that the Elk are no more... The Mothman has come and eaten them all up and he even took the time to get the ram's up near the Hoover Dam too.
Another thing - WHAT ARE RAMS DOING NEAR THE HOOVER DAM? Does anyone know how freaking big that thing is?!?!?! It is HUGE. You know - come to think of it I think the rams all fell into the dam. Yea... that's it! :)

Anyway I am in California now. We arrived yesterday after a very fun evening in Las Vegas.
That's another post.... :) to come
