Visited Friends In Coker

Tuscaloosa, Alabama - Deerlick Creek COE Park

Weather: low 75 degrees, high 95 degrees, clear skies

This picture was taken in May of 2004 in a rest area in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of eastern California. Just a little reminder that even though the weather is scorching now, it will get better.

This morning, we visited our friends Ruth, Marsha, and Chuck in Coker. They are the owners of the RV park we stayed in several times while in Coker over the past 16 months. We consider these folks to be the salt of the earth. They are honest and hard working, and some of the nicest people a person could meet. It was great to see them again, and we enjoyed the visit. When we were leaving, they gave us a cabbage and blueberries, all picked today. I can see some good eating coming. Thanks, guys, and we'll see you soon.

After the visit to Coker, we returned home and tried to stay cool until late in the afternoon, when we met Terri and Thomas for supper at Chili's. Chili's makes a very good hamburger, especially the one with apple wood smoked bacon. These burgers are so big that I can never eat the whole thing at one time. I know what we will be having for lunch tomorrow.

When we left Chili's, we went next door to a book store, searching for a guide to North American flowers. Readers have probably noticed that we like flowers but we're not very good at identifying them. We'll see if the book we found will help.

Since we will be leaving here on Monday we will start getting ready tomorrow. Now that we're in the traveling mode again, that shouldn't be too difficult.

More later, be safe.

Today's Town - Spokane, Washington: Spotucky

Not all who wander are lost.
