Can you smell the Eucalyptus??


Here we are nestled in among the eucalyptus trees in the Anthony Chabot Regional Park. It's 6 miles North of Castro Valley and 10 miles East of Oakland.

At the moment, there is only 1 other RV in the area but that will change this evening when the rest arrive. It will still be nice as there is plenty of space between the sites.

We will try to see Kelly Burns (if she can get back from Rhode Island), Marty Burns and Jon, Kirsten & Amalia while in the area the next 2 days before we head further South. We also hope to get connected with our mail which we had forwarded to Marty:)

The weather is absolutely beautiful. Sunny, 70's and a nice breeze (could "breeze" up to 40 MPH this evening) which is very fragrant with the smell of the eucalyptus trees. We had a very nice time at the Rancho Seco Reg. Park and visited Angels Camp and Columbia. We stopped by and saw what was a "recreation" of Mark Twains cabin where he wrote about the jumping frogs of Calaveras County. Didn't see any frogs, however.

I'll try to update any success of meeting up with the relatives tomorrow. For now, it's relax time.

Thanks for sharing your trip. I remember well the Eucalyptus trees. They used them as wind protection around the orange groves back in Rialto (and when they still orange groves instead of just more and more houses). Any Koolas?

Love, Carol

Enjoyed having dinner with you at Antonella's this evening and finally having a chance to really visit. No forwarded mail yet. Perhaps it will be delivered on Monday. Mail arrives in the afternoon.
