how's my drinking?

Spent Tue and Wed nights camping near the shore of Millerton Lake, near Fresno.  Beaut lake manmade in 1944 when California damned to provide local water for local people!!  Having put the tent up in the rain (Hello: California here!!)  we went into local town called Friant, and guess what? – no bar!  So we hit the pizza joint and a couple of beers and watched some basketball on TV.  Oh yeah, and on the way there we got a blowout and had to change the tyre: It all happens here!

Earth or the moon?

Weds-day went for a fairly easy 2hour walk along the waters edge and into the hills – great views, now avail on our Photos page!  After that we took a drive out in our rented Toyota Yaris Sedan (easy on the gas pedal!!) and actually found a proper Roadhouse.  So we stopped for a light bite and a beer – the kinda place where you are given free Monkey nuts and told to throw the shells on the floor!  Loved it!  went on from there into the ‘burbs of Fresno -  nothing spesh, and then back again to Sheri’s Roadhouse on way back to the lake: lit a fire in the pit provided, eat out and chilled. 

Struck the tent Thu am and headed back to Morgan Hill for a comedy night at the local Playhouse….all very quaint!
