Okay, when last we wrote we were in Ely. So the next day we headed off to Reno. Again, it was an amazing display of God's creativity. The scenery was out of this world. The clouds were hangin
Then, we were surprised by a mountain made of sand. Here is a picture. It may not seem too impressive until you realize those little dots at the bottom of the sand are RVs, cars, and people walking around. It was truly a mountain of sand. The day was beautiful and we couldn't get enough of the mountains. We finally made it to Carson City where we gathered to drive into Reno as a parade of MGs. There must have been 50 of us. It was amazing to see so many different models and years of MGs all together. We finally arrived
On Thursday there was a huge car show with about 612 cars. Believe it or not, our little midget came in second in the rubber bumper midgets--yeah! Congrats Dennis!
Friday we headed out for San Franci
San Francisco is a beautiful city--if you get a little out of the city. The SF MG club gave us a wonderful tour of the town. We saw the Pacific Ocean (with some surfers), the Golden Gate Bridge from below (and later Dennis took us to view the Golden Gate Bridge from above), the Presidio, we went to the highest peak in SF, and then
At Twin Peaks, the highest peak in SF, Dennis decided he had had enough and tried to jump--we coaxed him back up. Good thing he has strong fingers!!!!!
Sunday morning Dennis and I went to church--very nice service, and we met a very nice couple. The young lady had an MGB and was a flight attendant--how cool is God to lead us to a couple that has so much in common with us. We also went to Lombard Street--that really curvy road you always see in SF on TV. What
Later we took a ride on the cable cars--what a blast. We both chose to ride on the outside. Going up and down those SF streets is better than a roller coaster. You will not believe how close you come to other cable cars, and cars in general!

Later in the evening we took a trip to Alcatraz. It was very interesting, definitely worth a look see.
We left SF today and headed down the Pacific coast on Route 1. OMG, you would not believe how magnificent the coastline looks. The cliffs dropped right down to the ocean on the right side of the highway, and there were mountains on the left. In some areas there were cattle grazing on the mountain side of the road. As we traveled down the highway, we saw a lot of people stopped at one viewing spot. We had stopped at so many we decided not to stop, but as we were going by I glanced out and saw movement. I told Dennis to please turn around so I could see what was happening. I couldn't believe the number of Elephant Seals on the shore. They were magnificent to see, and you would not believe the noise they make. I was thrilled to get to see these animals
in their natural habitat.
We are now in Santa Maria, and tomorrow we are heading to the Los Anglos area.
Dennis will be blogging tomorrow. Until then, have a great evening
