GPS off of Bates road can lead you astray, and once you do arrive, expect gigantic craters in the road. Nothing you can't handle, of course, but just be aware. :) The restaurants in the Valley are spectacular!The Choutershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11798787090141843431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438854317312967203.post-84773550469836389982019-01-03T07:53:10.499-08:002019-01-03T07:53:10.499-08:00Sue, I think what Les has done is nothing short of...Sue, I think what Les has done is nothing short of a miracle, and I have a ton of admiration for you and what you have done to help him. You are my inspiration and when we come home from the markets in France with a ton of fresh goodies, expect an email!

There are a few put ins along this area, but this is the only one with designated camping and that spectacular view. Our property is not far from here, and it also has a great four-peak view!

I find it easiest to take my traditional recipes and modify them rather than try something new from scratch. I never seem to have half the ingredients in-house that I need to try a new recipe (and usually do not know even what the heck some of them are), and I have no idea whether the dish comes out good since I don't have anything to compare it to. I use tempah and jack fruit most often--tofu is like cooking and eating a sponge. Like you, I still must satisfy the carnivore in me once in a while. Les, on the other hand, is all in, and rarely cheats.Rambling RV Rathttp://rambingrvrat.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438854317312967203.post-8718698718952186202019-01-02T10:37:46.051-08:002019-01-02T10:37:46.051-08:00Good job getting caught up!!

I agree that if someone cooked vegan or vegetarian for me I'd be all in - maybe an occasional plate of shrimp...and some brisket....a couple wings. Oh well indeed :-)Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438854317312967203.post-58085693220484729492019-01-02T09:35:26.509-08:002019-01-02T09:35:26.509-08:00Yes, we choose to believe all is well with the dog...Yes, we choose to believe all is well with the doggy. :)The Choutershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11798787090141843431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438854317312967203.post-75173245070089799092019-01-02T09:34:49.477-08:002019-01-02T09:34:49.477-08:00Funny enough, Steven got that same owl on that sam...Funny enough, Steven got that same owl on that same sign in 2016!

Not sure if you will encounter lots of hills on your Camino hike, but you don’t want your toes jamming the front of your shoe on a downhill. Happy feet, happy hiker. 😊exploRVistas - Diana and Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14370218758023274707noreply@blogger.com
