I have been remiss in my postings here form Pinnacles!  We have enjoyed the hiking and wildlife and getting settled in with our tasks as Camp Hosts.

I have taken a couple of side trip in the past week.  Sunday the 14th I drove to Los Angeles to visit with my sister.  It was my first chance to see her new home and to visit with some family as she was hosting a house warming/holiday get together.
 I drove the beautiful and very winding Route 25 to Coalinga where I picked up I 5 and zipped into LA.  The drive over 25 took its toll as poor Vinny was car sick.  As a retired show dog he has spend a lot of time in a car and never fusses but the road was just too much!

Liza's loft it very cool and well suited to her.  I arrived 90 mins before the scheduled arrival of guests - there were one or two tasks to be done:  I vacuumed and tidied while Liza and I caught up with news.

Guests included my Niece Lelah and her adorable baby Truman and my cousin Barbara.


We had a fun time watching the Ukelele players performing christmas songs and Ukelele classics



The next morning Liza drove me over to shopping center so that I could stock up on See's Candy for the season.  Then Liza, Lelah, Truman and I went on a "stair walk"  there are lots of interesting neighborhoods in Los Angeles which is quite hilly so there are stairs to access some homes.  Our walk took us past many barking dogs as well as a stretch of conservancy land that was beautiful and remote feeling.
