Rick stopping to pick up some roadside change.

Wow – it is a treat to be back in touch with everyone! We’ve had a couple of days where the phone service was not good, and we are currently at a campground in Pine Grove, CA and I am using their dlal-up modem. :p My brand new Verizon Broadband doesn’t work here in the land of pine trees. I am taking today off (Saturday) and we’re doing the mundane things like washing clothes, cleaning up the RV and catching up on emails. We want to thank all of you who have inquired as to where we are. I’m sorry I couldn’t get phone calls; it is just the way it is. It will probably be this way for a few more days as we head out of Jackson and toward Carson City, NV. I saw a sign yesterday that Carson City was 95 miles away – all uphill.

I found a rare 1936 Buffalo Nickel yesterday. There are several people I need to thank who are matching my “money found”. I will get you a personal thanks in the blog as soon as I have better service. Anyway, you know who you are and I want you to know that l’m very appreciative of you and your intentions. Thank you!

We’re going to enjoy the rest of the day. Tomorrow I believe I will be walking with some old friends from Chattanooga. Hopefully I’ll find a hotspot and be able to blog about our walk later in the week.
