Richard and I decided on the spur of the moment to visit Rod and Sharla for Rod's birthday. We knew it would be cooler up north but had no idea how wonderful it would be. A strong monsoon storm had come through the area and cooled things off. When we left the valley it was 110 degrees. Within 1 hour we were to Mt. Ord and in a fierce rainstorm which dropped the temperature to about 65 degrees. Once we were through the scary part of the storm it was pure heaven. Here we are with Rod and Sharla after dinner at our hotel.
We took a little drive before we returned to the heat into the forest. Parking at the side of the road we hiked a little way to get a good vista picture of the rim area.
Here is one of the pictures Richard took. Breathtaking.
This is what my man did to get the picture.....risking his life over barbed wire. Thanks for the great shots honey.
Here he is trying to pull up a manzanita bush. My mom had one of these that she hung ornaments on. I wanted to do the same....only we didn't really have anything to dig it up with. Oh well, maybe next time.
Mistletoe growing in one of the trees. Yes...this warranted quite a little bit of smoochin.....
He was so sweet to sit on wet ground and let me try out my camera a little on him. Hmmm.....what a hunka hunka burnin love. Oh man!
