This evening we are camped in a KOA east of Gilroy CA in the rain and mud. The weather forecast looks like primarily grey skies and rain for the next two weeks. We have a chance at sun on Sunday and Wednesday. That sounds like we’re getting close to home!

We plan to camp in Sonoma county for several days, visit friends in the Bay area, see some favorite sights, and go to some wineries. The length of our stay will depend to some extent on the weather and our tolerance for discomfort. From there it is three days to get home.

The car and the trailer both have become quite disorganized and messy inside. In the rain and mud we can’t keep the floor clean. If the site is amenable to it we may put up our awning in Sonoma so we have a “dry” room to enter and exit from. I doubt that we will get the motivation to reorganize the car.

The long range forecasts for Siskyou Pass look like snow next week. That means we will have to watch the road reports closely and make a run for it when it looks good. That sounds like escaping Texas all over again!
