So happy to hear about all of your news Rick...and especially that you have chosen to explore the magic of the Great Mother is such magnificent surroundings. It is so good for city dwellers to feel the peace and joys of nature. I lived in the Bay area for many years and really miss the beauty and energy there. Please don't miss visiting the Redwoods!

Thank you for sharing your journey with us and for the beautiful photos...which made me very "homesick".

Peace to you dear one.
Love,
