I work in the morning while kids leisurely wake up. It’s 44 degrees outside in the morning but rather quickly warms up to around 80 in a couple of hours. With that, Sol takes girls to explore the local rivers. They are lucky and find a swimming hole where you could jump in from the …
Day 27
I work on ‘my’ bench again while Sol packs up camp and girls catch the last frogs. They come through town to pick me up around noon.We say good bye to Mendocino and are headed up the coast almost to the border between California and Oregon. We make a quick stop in Eurika. Sol convinces …

I’m the Driver
I guess this is my introduction post, yet we arrived in California Monday the 10th around 4pm local time, right on schedule. I’m the driver.
