Getting even

If you wanted to get even with someone, then send them off on Rt 49 from Mariposa going north on bikes. Be sure it is a hot, sunny day and that they only have a cup of water for the trip; that ought to do it.

Though we truely had no reason to get even with ourselves, we did anyway! The good news is that we made it to Coulterville, propped ourselves at the bar at the Hotel Jeffrey and proceeded to down several quarts of water and Sprite. It took about 40 minutes to feel part of this world again.

Met a very high percentage of wonderful folks in Coulterville and would reccommend a stopover there for more than the four hours we spent. We had a jump in the public pool, signed the wall at the Moonshine Cafe, visited the VFW hall, Karina got to hold a King Snake locally found, and were treated supremely by everyone we met!

We provisioned ourselves with a couple of Cans of peaches, a hot dog, part of a grilled cheese sandwich and headed off for Moccasin, a lake to swim in, a good place to camp (regardless of the squirrels intent on dropping 4 lb pine cones from 60 ft above our general vicinity).

Another sunny, fabulous day. Hoping to cover a lot of ground today with more grace (and water) than yesterday!
