precious moments

 Hop on a plane, train, or your car and you can get to the Grand Canyon, San Francisco, Yosemite but there are some things that there are
no tickets for, no travel agency to arrange.  There are some experiences that all you really need is to be present.  I have had the good fortune to have had several on this trip.  Best of all you can't plan them, they just happen.
While spending a night in a non functioning "camp ground"  we were making our dinner of mac and cheese, peas and other left overs when two antelope ran across a road and stood about 10 feet from us just looking at us.  They were beautiful!  We kind of all were in the wild.  The field was just several feet from the car the grass was a couple of feet high and the trees branches hung just above the grass.
Any way I was glad that we were in the right place at the right time.  I am so glad that neither MB or myself feel we always have to be in the safe confines of what is expected.

  1. Sounds pretty wonderful. Nature the best show ever. Just show up. I've been reading all the updates to mom. She says "howdy, looks like you're having a great time." Such beautiful sites. The redwoods are spectacular in pictures. Can't imagine the grand site in person. Xo niece lv
