Happy Winter Solstice. I hope everyone is having a good day and staying warm. Today was also our little puppy dog Chardonnay's birthday. She would've been 18 today. We lost her suddenly just before her 14th birthday in 2020. She had more white hair as she aged, don't we all, but she was my little love and I was so glad she was. She kept me company in all the odd places that we lived around the world.
I still miss her. I pray she'll run up and meet me in heaven some day.
Send help......and a storage unit. He kept the m'fer a secret. Maybe I should come home with a pair of $1000 shoes.

This dish has been making circles around their competition for centuries.
Birthday gift from Chris, @GGsister2:
Giadzy pasta, canned Italian tomatoes, tomato purée, olive oil, and a trio seasoned salts..
Well, I guess Chris is telling me to get cooking now that the kitchen is 90% done.
So…guess what I am cooking this weekend? First one to correctly guess the dish will win Gutter merch. Recipe may or may not use all ingredients shown.
Let’s see who knows their Italian food!
“Day 7”
Of the 2026 Cavalcade.
Note: ‘Mules’ or ‘Ana-Mules’ (animals) as my brother from another mother, Miguel, calls them.
- We were hearing Elk bugling all night last night. Now we know why the area is called ‘Elk Valley’.
- Of course the Black Tailed deer that crossed the road in front of us while driving back from the Grove of Giants.
- Last evening, a covey of 15-20 Quail ran through our campsite.
1292 miles
182 miles today, still almost 4 hours of seat time.
We left Crescent City around 11:00.
We stopped in Orick to get fuel and try to get some Butane cartridges for our single burner stove (coffee). We went to a Tractor Supply, after I checked the web to ensure they carried them.
Nope, the manager told me they quit carrying butane all together because the homeless steal them all. Target doesn’t carry them either, although we did finally find them at a local outdoors store.
We jumped off US101 and rode old US101, which is two lanes, was bypassed when they increased 101 into 4 lanes.
It’s now ...
