Santa Cruz

We had to run down to Watsonville to get Karen's Jeep so last night we drove over to Santa Cruz to walk on the boardwalk. I haven't been there for 41 years and a lot of it has changed but I remembered the place where I came through the cave from the beach on the other side of the river. I was remembering bits and pieces as we walked down the boardwalk but it's all concrete now instead of boards. Karen was telling me a lot of it had been destroyed in a storm or flood and they had rebuilt it so that would account or the changes... but then it's been 41 years so I expected some changes anyway. It was a nice sunset and the moon was full but I left my camera in the jeep so I didn't get any good pictures except a few with my phone but I can't access them until we get back to Idaho.

This morning we are renting a trailer and we are going to load the Jeep on it to take it back to the mountains. The traffic on I-80 yesterday was bumper to bumper from Davis to just before the 680 intersection but I'm hoping it won't be too bad today. I already can't wait to get back to the mountains.
