Monterey the City

Big move today. We got up and went and found some breakfast and then came back and packed up the porta crib for a massive 22 mile run down the road to a little place called Marina Dunes RV park in Marina. We are about 4 miles north of Monterey for the next few days.....

Didn't do much today after we got here. Did go down to the Old Fisherman's Wharf to look around a little bit and find some dinner. We got to watch an otter swim around and mess with a sea gull while we ate. Listened to the sea lions and harbor seals talk to each other and fish fart on each other. :-)

Here's a little shot of some of the smaller boats in the harbor...


Notice a little 47' in the background there?

Caught this guy napping.... cute little buggers....



It was kinda late in the day so we didn't spend a lot of time there. Tomorrow we are going back down that way, and on down to Cannery Row and to look for Karen's lighthouse. Might do 17 mile road too and let Forrest place in the tide pools.

Here's our current back yard..... doesn't suck....



And on another note, among you old farts out there that might remember chips, I got Erik Estrada aka Pancherilli (sp). Who was the other dude? These guys still ride around on their bikes busting folks along the freeways and highways here.....

That could be 87'. I'll take a tape measure over this morning and check it out..... Shite boy, you can't even spell bote! The closest you've been to one if flying over it!

Pop, mid 70's here yesterday. I'm ready to go back up to Oregon and get back into those 50's!

Jon was his name. I didn't remember the last name. I remembered the actor's name last night,(Larry Wilcox), as far as I know, he never did anything else.

Let's see. According to IMDB.com, he was on Lassie a few times, Hawaii 5-0 once, the Love Boat twice, Matlock once, Murder She Wrote 4 times, an ABC afterschool special, and a bunch of other lame no name tv shows once. Now you know......and knowing is half the battle. GO JJJJJOOOOOOEEEEE!!!!
