nah, the 50* was just in the cave. outside was probably mid-80's or so

Plastic Flamingos of today just don't burn/melt as good as the old ones did...

Sounds like someone has been burning things....

Oh, well, that makes it sound like it was hot outside of the cave...

Were ya'll able to enjoy a river/stream?

Yes, on Sunday we enjoyed wading in the Kings River .... I, for one, was glad it was not the raging torrent our guides were apparently accustomed to.



(We also stuck our feet in Dorst Creek at our campground, but the water was terrifyingly freezing!)

Yes, but freezing was good for the sprained ankle.

Well, I'm glad none of you were Cougar-s d'oeuvres.
:D

Um...sprained ankle? Is there a blog somewhere to read about all of the fun and adventures?

Yes, GC, always in the back of my mind...and I found out it was also on my sons mind as the place we went to in Monterey {Pacific Grove, hey, you lived there before!!!} said there were mountain lions {or cougars?} and he said he wished we'd stayed at the Portola Plaza Inn...no fear of being attacked by animals!!

Heheh, you could read my el jay.









... in about a month.





(though I hope to have the tale of our final day, ahem, my birthday, posted by tonight. There will be wee bit about NA's sprained ankle, but not enough to satisfy all injury curiosity.)

No, but my lower leg was just that for a rather carnivorous large fly on that Saturday morning. I ended up at Urgent Care a couple nights ago, because that little bite became about 1-inch in blackened diameter, with about 2-3 inches of swelling all around that, in addition to the red hot jabbing pain whenever I'd walk on it. (I'll spare you a photo of the details.)

I'm on a really heavy antibiotic right now, and am supposed to be elevating my foot as much as possible. :rolleyes:

DoubleYou Tee Eff???!?







(Um, now I have to wonder .... did anyone determine whether Chery did, in fact, contract Lyme Disease from his tick bite???)
