June 7th, 2020 - On the Russian River. Day 63.

Made it to our campground at the Russian River and met up with our friends.  On the way down we realized that we are pretty sheltered in Nevada.  There are so many people in California!! Couldn't find a place to stop for lunch with our trailer so we chose a Walmart and noticed nobody was wearing face masks!  

We are in a whole different world here.  Russ and I usually go camping to get away from it all but this place has back to back campers.  Right now I am looking out the window watching an 8 year old boy who has been cooped up for how long -- who knows -- dancing on the grill of the fire pit.  So glad he is not my charge.  I get it.  It is just so difficult to imagine being the parent of kids who have to be confined to an enclosed space all day -- especially during this time of COVID.  This RV looks like there are quite a few kids in it too.  I hope the parents are having a cocktail. . . . or two.

Dinner tonight was in Occidental (?).  The 6 of us shared a few bottles of wine and a wonderful meal at Cape Fear.   This was their 2nd day open and they are trying so hard.  It is so difficult to talk to someone behind a facemask.  Here we are:

So tomorrow, who knows.  Hopefully a run at sea level.
