September 23, 2014---Von’s, Bishop, California


We found four geocaches this morning.  It was rather warm, but three of them were in shady places.  That helped a lot.

We drove to Big Pine to check on a Forest Service Campground.  It was too remote, but we did see something interesting while we were there.  Fish and Game was stocking a stream.  The fish they were releasing were bigger than what we thought they would be putting in.

I made another trip to Ben Franklin Craft Store.  Yippy, Skippy!





Today is Tucker’s turn to be introduced.  He is a wonderful little dog who never gets tired of being scratched...on the head, behind the ears, on his tummy, or wherever.  If the “scratcher” puts down the scratching hand, Tucker puts his nose under the idle hand to let you know he hasn’t been scratched enough.










Tucker was adopted by Lori when he was three years old.  He loves Lori, preferring not to leave her side.  His background isn’t known, but he seems very needy, not wanting Lori out of his sight.  Our family is particularly fond of Schnauzers (We had Muffet for 13 years) and are glad to have Tucker in our family.

He loves to go on walks.  It is interesting...he looks back to make sure Lori is still there.  Hm-m-m!  Who does he thinks holds the leash?  And Tucker loves to go to yoga with Lori.  He stays right beside her mat.

"Will someone please tell me why she gets the big bed?"
Tucker likes to ride in Lori’s van, probably because he knows he won’t be left behind.  He definitely has separation issues.  And Tucker and Maddie are great friends.  They often nap together.  When Tucker is in the motorhome, he likes to sit by Grandpa!


















Just like Lori, Tucker is a Denver Bronco fan!

  1. Hi Raymonda and Bill,

    Nice dog pictures, great Yosemite road shots a few days ago! I bet the exhaust brake got a real workout on Tioga Pass! From Gilroy we'd take the long way around, Bakersfield then up 395. Nice having new breaks!

    We were wondering where you stay at Von's? Do you just look for an out of the way parking place? Are there other Motorhomes in the parking lot? Can you put your slides out? How secure is it? Do you have to get the store's mgr permission first our as you said ask forgiveness afterwards if needed?

    Bill, what type of supplemental brake system do you use with your CRV? Ours is a brake master linked to our air brakes on the motorhome. We are think about a new car and I'd like to save a few bucks and just rip pours out of the Avalon and move it to a new car.

    Safe travels, see you on the roads and enjoy the film fest.

    Steve, Jean and Max

    1. Great to hear from you. We are having a fun time.

      Von's is a super market in Bishop. Next to it is a K-Mart. Their parking lot is huge. Lots of rigs park here. We don't ask, but we do shop at Von's.

      Our braking system is M&G. Bill says he likes to keep things simple.

      I'm glad you are enjoying the dog pictures. After we visited you and I raved about Max in my blog, I thought I should do the same for all our family pets.

      Hugs to all, especially Max!
