3. Have fun trof! I'm taking a "roughing it" CA road trip soon.
Driving to and camping at, Yosemite, Kings Canyon, Big Basin, Pt. Reyes/Bolinas, Russian River.
I'm taking this long-awaited trip now, before gas is $4.00 + a gallon.
Enjoy it my friend and post pics.

5. Thanks. Trip purpose: Babysitting
Our grandson during his dad's class reunion at U. VA.
The rest is side trips since we'll be in the area anyway.
Oh, and Tuscaloosa.
They're tearing my old frat house down and I want one last look at the location of my misspent/dissipated/half-remembered youth.

7. End of an era, as they say.
Place was about 100 years old when I was there back in the 50s/60s.
Damned shame.
Make way for new football stadium complex.

13. Affectionately know as the Big Butt...
...from every angle but the above. I make it a point to stop nearby at...Abbott Farms? I think that's the name. Lots of peach and berry products.
