There's nothing better than a fair! Livestock, parades of young 4-Hers, and yes, deep fried pickles. We did not try the pickles, but we did have pie, lemonade and BBQ. We saw fainting goats and (nonfainting) guinea pigs. Steve, who is allergic, kept his distance from the guinea pigs.
Kyle won! Ketchikan has a young, capable, results-oriented leader in the legislature. Ketchikan, when you see Kyle, congratulate him and ask him to support funding of public broadcasting. We all love KRBD (don't forget, the fall friendraiser is coming up!)!
We piled into the Jeep and headed for the California shore. Crescent City called our name, and we went. Joanna and Elvis had not seen the Pacific ocean since leaving Ketchikan. It was a nice road trip. Except for going through Medford to get to I-5. Hell is Medford traffic. It is at least a circle of hell, and if you do not know your exit, it literally becomes a circle of hell. We were in that particular circle for five to ten minutes.
Joanna and Elvis frolicked (Steve, contrary to what you may have heard, does not frolic) on the beach at Crescent City. It was nice to smell the ocean air again. Say what you will, but low tide is a wonderful aroma when you have not been near a ocean shore in over six months. We had a great time, and found Crescent City to be a lot like Ketchikan, only uglier. The ocean, fishing boats, lots of tourist (RVs all over), sea gulls and opportunities to buy cheap curios. We miss Ketchikan.
We also found cheap booze. We had an opportunity to buy a high end Gin at $8.99 a bottle. If we bought a case. We passed on the deal, and instead purchased one bottle of bourbon, a bottle of Bailey's and two bottles of Gin at $9.99! Yes, bargining for booze is okay in Cali.
We hope to catch up on all things Lost in K-Falls in the next week or so, so stay tuned.
Don't fall down and tell the NSA to stay out of your e-mail/phones/bedrooms!
