Okay what has Gilligan got to do with us? Well, the Alperts just returned from Maui and we were listening to Brother Iz sing the theme song from the show and all of us Hawaii lovers enjoyed hearing that. And we spent this morning on the family boat which is docked at a nearby marina. Kudos to Barbara Jean who took us out and was an expert captain for our voyage returning us home much quicker than Gilligan's cruise.
BJ, Dori, Emily and her friend Mark, Jeff and I enjoyed a glorious morning on Lake Folsom. The boat is bitchin' and the activity today was tubing. This is a new sport for me and I had a great time getting pulled around and trying to hang on. Jeff took a turn also and found the hardest part was getting off the boat and into the tube. Emily and Mark rode tandem and made it look easy compared to the novices.
Reluctantly we had to pack up and take to the road again. We had such a good time in Eldorado Hills and enjoyed getting to know our cousins better. The gracious hospitality shown to us and Ziggy is so appreciated. I also love the area which is the foothills of the Sierra Nevada range. Everywhere you look is a magnificent scene with soaring hills and green valleys. Lots of cattle and crops growing and plenty of water too. There are little towns every few miles and they look right out of an old western movie. I just love it all and hope to return to do more exploring.
Jeff and I drove on narrow, curvy roads towards Yosemite. We passed through Calaveras County (home of Mark Twain's famous frog) and climbed up and up on a road that made the switchbacks in Bryce Canyon look like child's play. We arrived at our new campground just before dark and got set up. We are about 20 miles from Yosemite Valley and will have three days here to explore the park and surrounding areas. We went to an old saloon in a nearby town for a quick dinner and that is it for today.

I don't know Judy. All I read about is food and you still look great. Good for you.
