With Memorial Day on the horizon and a week of 100+ degrees coming up, we set off on a long (not) 120 mile drive up the I-17 to Flagstaff and back to the good ole J&H RV Park.

Magic’s spot in Flagstaff.

Friends, the Bolton’s, were not far behind – so we met up for a little Thai dinner and a round of golf.  NAU also beckoned for a walking tour of that campus that served as home to E many moons ago;-)

Believe it or not – the building IS older than E!!

Just a few short days later, we were off to the Monterey Peninsula to meet up with our cruising mates for THREE days of golf – and dinners – and conversation;-)  Suddenly there were cypress trees lining the fairways instead of pine trees!  They truly are beautiful.  First up on the agenda was Black Horse GC at Fort Ord.

UGH!  The high scores here were made more palatable …

… by playing with good friends.

The second day brought on Poppy Hills.  We all just wanted to feel like PGA players – too bad our scores did not look the same;-(

Line this putt up well – as there is a lot riding on it!

The girls and the does.

Day three was at the Quail Lodge GC – a really beautiful course.

Beautiful – BUT not friendly;-(

Magic’s parking spot in Carmel Valley had fantastic views of the surrounding canyons – but, the drive in was quite something (a VERY narrow one lane road) and the actual parking spot was a bit narrow.  We didn’t look like this when parked – –

This just made us laugh;-)!!

So begin our summer adventures – ultimately to Alaska.

E & G headed for the hills
