WIND.... WINDY.... What is up in the Desert?

Ed and I left Amador county about 8:00 am Saturday morning.  We drove up Highway 88 to hit Hwy 395 just to have a different experience on the way down here to the desert.  We took a detour to June Lake to see the campground we will be staying in July,  Still snow on the ground and the owner was very helpful with information and starting the clean up to get the camp ready.  It was a long 14 hour day and chose to drive straight through.  Needless to say we were dang tired when we got here...

Sunday April 18th was our anniversary and we had a quiet day, went to dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse  which is one of our favorite restaurants.  It was a gorgeous day in the desert, soon to change.  Monday was a very nice day also, we shopped for a few things we needed down here, one being a deck box.  Some Assembly required is not one of Ed's favorite things to do.  He can break down and fix computers, tear down bulldozers, tractors etc, but when he see's Some Assembly Required, it is like a bull seeing red.  Tuesday the WIND HIT!!  Good grief it was so bad I thought we were going to wake up in Kansas.  At least we got two days at the pool before the winds hit.  I can stay pretty busy down here but when the weather gets icky, Ed gets antsy.
