Day 51:
Today I met Sammy, hands-down the coolest dog of my trip.
The only place I will be traveling today is .4 miles to drop my van off at the service center. Then I walked back and had second breakfast at my hotel. Not everyone has heard of second breakfast. I spent the entire day in my hotel room, catching up on real life stuff. Work, pictures, etc… I can’t believe how much time I spend in front of a computer in normal life. Hardly any for the past 2 months, it’s been great. If you really want to know what I did today in all it’s boring details, reach out, I possess a certain set of skills.
I think this is the first day in a couple months I have not found a geocache…there is not even one in this hotel parking lot…

Day 52:
Today I met Rebar, hands-down the coolest dog of my trip.

The man in green

I woke up this morning in a hotel in Sacramento without my van yet. I slept as long as my body and eyes would allow me, before forcing me up and open. I got cleaned up, had a continental breakfast, and then got a ride to downtown Sacramento. My plan was to do a walking tour, like I do anywhere I’m at. Usually navigated by geocaches, because they always take me to the most interesting, funny, entertaining, and creative locations. I ended up logging about 10 miles around Sacramento.
I started in the old town, around the museums and the water. I did a walking tour of old town Sacramento. Very interesting stuff. Not crowded on a Friday morning. I looped there twice for various GC things. From there I made my way to the Capital and the capital park. I took in some history, some art, some heros, and some fun. About midday I got the call that my van was ready for pickup. Now I need to plan ahead and find somewhere to replace a couple tires ASAP. End of next week at the earliest, and hopefully latest, it being a Friday already. The fun never ends!
After that telephone call I made my way back to my hotel, got my van, picked up laundry, and will spend the rest of the day finishing up work stuff so I can get back to my roadtrip tomorrow morning! Back to the PCH, and onward south.

I did start an album of this trip that I am updating as I process. HERE.
