While in San Diego, my sister, niece and I went to an unusual restaurant called “Farmer Nate’s” or something like that. It had a nursery and some farm animals on the surprisingly large property located on a canyon in the city. Tomorrow I’ll show you another trip I took down memory lane in Sandy Eggo.
Country Girl in the City #2
This country girl had more fun than a human being should be allowed to have in San Diego with family and friends. I lived in Sandy Eggo for about 4 years in college. (Went to 3 colleges down there – after 5 years I ended up with a 2 year degree from College of the […]
Country Girl in a City
Still running behind after my road trip. Where did you go, Central California Artist? So glad you asked! I went to San Diego to see a dear friend who was there for a class, a dear cousin, another dear cousin, my dear aunt, my dear niece, and mostly, my dear sister. Oh dears. What did you do in San Diego? Great question (all interviewees begin their answers […]
Little Shavers
Does this title please you as much as it does me? Heheheh. (That’s me snickering). After having a wonderful reunion with wonderful friends in a wonderful place (is Lawrence Welk around here somewhere??), I wanted to commemorate our time together. As a Central California artist, art seemed like the right choice. (We went to Shaver […]
Reunion at Shaver Lake
Seven women friends met for a long weekend at a Shaver Lake cabin. 6 of us went to Redwood High School; 1 went to Whitney (but we have forgiven her). 6 of us graduated in 1977; 1 graduated in 1976 (but we love having her with us). 5 are turning 60 this year; 2 turned […]
A Funny Walk at Hume
There is a funny walk at Hume, which most of the residents call a “hike”, but this ain’t Mineral King, folks. (What a snob I am!) The walk is best enjoyed in photos. Let’s go! I believe this qualifies as a Peculiar Sight.
Hume Lake Wildflowers
Say what? “Hume Lake wildflowers”, I said! It is still the Sierra, and I love wildflowers, as you know. And sometimes I go to the mountains in places that aren’t Mineral King. It’s permissible. I stayed with my old friend at her cabin. It was charming, and it has electricity and even a teevee with […]
Little Get-Away
What is going on? At the end of June, I hadn’t been to Mineral King, but I did visit Hume Lake. This has become a tradition with a friend of mine from childhood. (“Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other PLATINUM!) More tomorrow.

Road update from Sequoia Roads Supervisor: The current plan is for the Sequoia Road Crew to return to maintenance on the Mineral King road as soon as the current road center and fog line striping project is completed through the Giant Forest area this week.Mineral King road maintenance will consist of spot brushing priority areas, […]
Road Trip, Day Four
On Day Four, we were READY TO BE HOME. We looked over the maps, picked a route, finished emptying the UHaul, returned it, and hit the road with the intention of driving until just before we got sick of it. It is easier with two drivers, so you can switch off. We wanted to be […]
