we made it

We made it to San Francisco without any problems.

Miriam and I, Leo the size challenged greyhound, and our part of Thanksgiving dinner, all in our now ancient little car. Little Blue also pulled TinyOne, our teardrop trailer.

Little Blue has taken us where we asked for 15 years now. It’s been a faithful friend.

The grandsons are still at school, and son-in-law is a high school teacher, so he is not home yet either, so we have a few minutes of reflection time.

Last night we slept near Winnemucca Nevada. It was about 20 this morning, nice and cold, but super comfortable in the teardrop. Then we drove over Donner Pass at 6000 feet plus, and down to sea level. That is a lot of changes.

We parked the trailer at a truck stop last night. That is a noisy place to be. Lots of tuckers leave their truck running all night and you get 40 or 50 of them going, and it can be noisy.

It was good sleeping. Miriam slept the whole night without waking up at all.

When we camp, our Italian Greyhound always sleeps in the tow rig, either my pickup or the little blue car. It was cold last night, so he slept with us in the tear.

He was one happy dog.
