Foto Friday, 7/11
Here is a local one that was supposed to go up last week, but didn’t.
And here are a couple from Africa:

Here are a couple more of Africa AND Big Sur!
Foto Friday
Okay, the vote was mixed, some preferred Africa, others preferred Big Sur, and many wanted both. You all win! I’ll be posting both for a while!
Well, shoot. I was as surprised as you are that Foto Friday comes on a Thursday this week. Silly blog. Guess I am taking Friday off. Going to the Big Sur Multiagency Advisory Council Meeting tomorrow, the real Friday!
Africa: the endless place
I am in love with Africa, as I am in love with Big Sur … Differently, but with the same passion. It is big. It is beautiful. It is like no other. It is raw. It is life and death itself.
My trip is almost at an end, and I will be back in my beloved Sur this Friday. I miss my fur kids, my own bed, my view, but am so very grateful I got to experience even just a bit of this great place.
More of Africa
Consider these a “teaser.” Off for more adventure.
African Adventure
Where do I begin?
WordPress COMPLETELY changed the way we add media, and it doesn’t seem to be working for me. I may have to just share one at a time, until WP fixes this fiasco with an update! :-/
Kate & Rose’s Adventure
Bigsurkate is going on vacation, but Two friends will be keeping an eye on things. Debbie will be watching and posting all things Big Sur. Mike will be watching and posting all things fire-related. Mike has been following my blog since day one, and is the ONLY person I know, friends and family included, who has read every single post for the past 6 years – and that’s a lot! Mike is a retired Cal Fire Captain. He has been my go-to source since the 2008 fires. Mike was in Fresno when we first met, but has now joined us here in Mo Co. Mike has also graciously agreed to cover my Foto Fridays for the next four weeks.
If you need to post an event /benefit while I am gone, send to reedbigsur@gmail.com If you want to notify us of any fire-related issues, cc: mikeswebmail@gmail.com
I will be out of internet range most of my trip.
Kenya Tanzania, Zanzibar, here we come!
Quartzite Historical Museum
Quartzite Adventure
Tomorrow morning at 8:00 am, I will be leaving this gawd-awful cold for the desert in Quartzite, AZ. When we finally arrive on Weds. It will be mid-60’s there, and up to 70 by Saturday. We went last year with my aunt and uncle (it was their 26th year) and are going with them again this year. It is one of the biggest gem and mineral shows in the world, one of the biggest RV shows, the biggest garage sale/flea markets ever … And the biggest gathering of old farts you ever did see. A tiny town of 2000 turns into a gathering of about one million. It is the old farts Burning Man.
The local pizza parlor/bar has TWO happy hours. One from 10-12 and another from 3-5. What Rock Knocker finally discovered last year, when I took him to Silly Al’s, is that Quartzite is absolutely packed with Vietnam Nam vets, like him. He hated it until I introduced him to Silly Al’s … Then the venue changed drastically for him. Now, he wouldn’t miss it. We have our reservations, the RV is stocked and ready to rock and roll, and we will be on the road soon. I’ll be taking all my gadgets, and might even post a few things from there, but my wonderful backup, bigsurdeb, will be keeping an eye on all things Big Sur for me, particularly the Partington Ridge road debacle, and will keep us all informed.
I have my caretaker all lined up to take are of the critters, enjoy my space, and make sure no one else does.
