We left the high Oregon desert and descended in Eugene for a family visit with Sarah's uncle, Ted and aunt, Karrin. We thoroughly enjoyed a homecooked meal in their festive house, the walls echoing all of their travels and adventures. We sipped wine and listened to their sage advice about travelling and how to live a good and simple life.
Ant Hill just made it into northern California, limping along with a bad tire. But she's now outfitted with a new tire, thanks to the kind folks at TP Tire in Arcata. We stretched our legs and played Frisbee on the shore and both Sarah and Maggie each found an intact sand dollar! A sure sign of good things to come! Although Nellie, Montana cattle dog, is still not too sure what to think of the ocean.

Our Arcata house party, co-hosted by Greta and Julie, was a great success and as friends tried on pants, we enjoyed homemade goat cheese, fresh from Greta's farm. Check out the photo of Greta milking her goats in Red Ants Pants during the party! It was a wonderful time to meet her family and meet some local women of this beautiful oceanside and farming town. After we packed up pants, cleaned up the sushi and salads, we enjoyed a quiet night's sleep in the rig, parked in Julie's yard--content with the rescued dogs, some chickens, and albino frogs!
