His only request was to visit Lombard St. No problem!

Had to stop at the north exit for pictures. One facing south...

...and one facing north. What the #$%!

We took in fireworks that evening at the Santa Rosa fairgrounds. We camped out on the field overlooking the dirt parking lot where they shoot them off. And the best part: We were outa there very quickly!

The next day (Monday 7/5) we headed out for Placerville to spend the night at Dan and Linda's.

On Tuesday (7/6) we drove down the road to spend a full day on the American River with the RiverRunners. Check it out!

That evening we drove to Lake Tahoe to spend a few days at June's cabin.

On Wed (7/7) we celebrated June's birthday by taking the Tahoe City to Squaw Valley bike ride...

...cooking her a nice meal, along with dance entertainment provided by Brett...

...then Mai Tais at Sunnyside. Happy 39th baby!

Tennis in the mornings...

Thursday we took the obligatory walk at Emeralds Bay. Headed home on Friday.

We did paddle down the Russian River from Alexander Valley to this location on Fitch Mtn. Just not sure which day. And June didn't go for some reason.

The trip to Armstrong Grove

Whirlwind tour of the ocean. From Jenner at the mouth of the Russian River...

To Bodega Bay, site of "The Birds" which we watched the night before.

The sign says (paraphrased), "Yes, this is the schoolhouse from the movie, and people live here, so LEAVE US ALONE!"

Bodega head where the three adventurers climbed on rocks and disrupted wildlife.

Here they are looking for trouble.

They abducted these baby guls from their mother.

Cutco EATING the wildlife!

Cutco and Garrett slept in my room while they were in Windsor. On the last night, a fight erupted in the yard, and being the original southern country boy, he accurately noted that it sounded like a male raccoon trying to destroy babies so that the mom would go into heat. Sure enough, we pulled up a board on the deck and he pulled out these three raccoon pups. Little did we know that doing that is illegal. We tried to put them back, but the mom was apparently long gone. So we turned them over to the rescue folks. They threatened to return the pups to the same location from whence they were taken when they were grown. Sure, I got them across the street and Bruce and Maryannes!

"Well, I have nipples Greg. Can you milk me?"

Another great vacation with the ever-entertaining Cutco family!
