The link wants to make me sign in with google. Not much of a joiner Ms Diaane. ~~g~~. Is it posted on your regular blog site too?

Wow super cool blog post and like old home week for me. My ranch was right near where you were in Mariposa County. I had heard there was poppy somewhere along the road to Snelling but I never found any there. It abounded all over in Hunters Valley. I used to hunt an area much like Panoche over by Creston. That part of the Coast ranges is full of jasper. Thanks for taking me on a tour of my old haunts....Mel

Thanks, Diane. Thoroughly enjoyed reading about your trip.
We've been to Clear Creek several times. Hit a black pig in the road on the way out one night.
Any photos of your findings?

coloradocliff no. He trailed behind a long line of pink pigs. We waited a minute. No more pink pigs. Then came the black pig, taking his time. Thump! He dented our fender. Don't know if he was slabbed in the process.

Don't know if he was slabbed in the process. Driving along in Mexico, Going down the winding hills from Tepic, thru the Banana fields in the big ravines to Rincon and Punta Mita. Saw a big pig slowly ctossing the road down the way a hundred yards. He looked at us, saw no reason to speed up and continued his slow mosey across the road. In my mirror I saw a big truck camper hauling butt and coming around to pass. My van blocked the pig's view. At the same instant in time the pig, with the biggest eyes in the world, saw the camper which clipped his big, scrambling butt and the last I saw of the pig it was cartwheeling end over end over the cliff and into the ravine. Crazy look on the pigs face stuck in my head. ,.

Great blog post! If I were to venture out that way, it would be very helpful. Sounds like you had a fun and productive time.

That's strange, the link should just point you to my regular blog. Maybe try to go to the blog and see the latest post then.

Am an electronically defeated man. Not challenged. Defeated hehehe You are such a road warrior for a lady. My hat is off to you girl. Very impressed with your abilities. Especially your ability to pick a great dog. Gypsy is such a dear and tolerant human owner.

Thank you. Gypsy actually picked me so maybe she has the good taste...lol. I wouldn't say I was a road warrior but sometimes I even impress myself. Then again sometimes I wonder how I get myself into and out of some really strange situations. I was a little shaky on the drive up to the mine in Clear Creek because of the road but made it and lived to tell about it so I consider it all good.

I was trying to be selective on how many rocks I picked up. I also try to be selective , unsuccessful sometimes . Think I have "one more rock" syndrome .
