This is our first day to workamp here in Avery, Jerry started this morning to learn his job and I will start this afternoon to learn mind. We will work the same days but at different times. Had a few more things happen, my coffee pot went up and our water hose burst, so had to go buy new, the hose was because of being in that AZ sun, don't know what went wrong with coffee pot!
Well Jerry has already taken me across same very narrow roads with lots of twists and turns, was nice when we got to where we were going, a old town that lookd right out of the old west days, will have to go back as I did not have my camera with me, but we will go the long way around!
Have downloaded the photos so will try to put a few in now!

May
Hi to all, we have been in CA. since April 9th and stayed in a small town called Morgan Hills, a friend we met grew up there and referred a lot of things that she thought we would like to do and also was close to San Francisco, so we were there in that area till the 10th of May. Will tell you a little bit about our stay, first we could not get our diretv, had to have some one come out to get it sit up, then had problems with the computer, took it in to be repaired and am still having some trouble with my aol, will think about getting a different e-mail!!! Oh well guess all that could happen if we were staying in one place also, but on a up note, we found this great senior center that had a lot of things going on, like lunch every day a computer room, plus so much more, we went there so I could use their computer while mine was down, also had some really good lunchs, made it very easy on me as we just had a small snack in the eary evening, so I didn't have to cook everyday, so nice! Oh and one of the nicest things was lunch was only $2.00 each, can't beat that, we have found a few centers in different states but so far this hasa been the most active and one of the nicest!
Was able to take the train into San Francisco, about and hour and fifteen min. ride, very nice that we did not have to drive in, took a wonderfull tour, which included a ferry ride over to Sausalito, spent an hour there for walking tour or lunch, by taking the tour we were able to see a lot plus learn, I did take lots of photo's, they will have to wait till next time for me to ad as I have not gotten them down loaded yet, will all that was going on with my computer. It was a long, but very good day, the only thing was my dinner, thought they should have good seafood, so tried the crab cakes, they were just awful!!!!!! Jerry had a good dinner he had oysters and enjoyed.
We are now in Avery, CA. and staying where we will work sixteen hours a week while here, it goes from M. day till L. day. ten not sure what we will do after that, been talking about a few places. We are in the mountains, which I knew we were going to be, but guess didn't think beyound that, where ever we go hav to drive down a mountain side, guess i will get used to it, we have been checking out the small towns around here like Murphys & Angels Camp, all nice, have found some other real quaint small towns, I didn't have my camera with me so will have to go back as the building were most of the ones that were build way back and they have kept them up, have shops in them and they were really neat! Lots of winery's here, ther arte twenty one in Murphys, if I do the taste testing in all of them in one day, Jerry will have to carry me out there and I don't think he wants to do that!! We will go back in to Murphys another time and try some. Jerry went down there yesterday as the fair is here in Angels Camp (went on Friday) fun, but Murphys was like Leesburg, they have all the bikers come every year for the fair they all come to see the frog jumping contest, so we were told, Jerry said bikes were lined up on both sides of the street plus every where else.
That about all my news for now, will try to get the photos in so I can include some next time I update.
