SANTA CRUZ, Calif.<\/strong> — I am about to skedaddle from this lovely coastal city … apparently in the nick of time.<\/p>\n

The weathermen and women tell us that the Atmospheric River is about to start “flowing” again over the region sometime Tuesday. Toby the Puppy and I hope to be on the road en route north to a coastal town just south of the Oregon border.<\/p>\n

Does that mean we can breathe easily? Hardly, according to my family members here. One of them said we would be driving “into the belly of the beast.”<\/p>\n

Well, OK. I am aware of the hazards. I have told ’em all that we are prepared to stop whenever the need arises.<\/p>\n

The locals here are understandably full of the nervous jerks when it comes to this weather pattern. It has been — to say the very least — a highly unusual winter.<\/p>\n

It has been a cold winter and a very wet one, indeed. The mountain snowpack isn’t quite a record, but I understand it’s close.<\/p>\n

But, Toby the Puppy and I have a bit of a schedule to keep. Fortunately, we’ll be staying with family members over the course of the next several days on the road. Which means we aren’t bound by “cancellation policies” at various lodging establishments.<\/p>\n

It’s been an adventure so far. I am just going to hope for the best as we motor on.<\/p>\n
