I made a command decision, which I can do because I don’t have to answer to anyone else these days.
My departure date for points west will arrive on March 15. I am heading to the Pacific Ocean. Then I’ll head north. I am going to continue writing this blog along the way.
Why continue? Because … I am on a 521-day consecutive blog posting streak. High Plains Blogger is now in the midst of the longest streak of consecutive days when your blogger — that’s me — is posting commentary on this and that.
I’ll do so from the road. Actually, I intend to do plenty of sight-seeing along the way.
For example, I am hoping to cross Nevada along what I am told is the “Loneliest Highway in America,” which is U.S. Highway 50. It is a scenic stretch of roadway. I look forward to seeing it. The lonely road will take me to Lake Tahoe and then to California, where I will see my cousin and his wife before I head to Santa Cruz and stick my feet in the frigid Pacific water.
I haven’t yet told Toby the Puppy of my plans. I’ll wait to spring it on him. He’ll be glad to hit the road with me.
Head north from Colorado to Oregon. We will (if the good Lord’s willing and the creeks don’t rise) be at Cape Perpetua Scenic Area on the Oregon coast from mid may through the summer. It’s a beautiful place!
California not Colorado. Darned autocorrect.
