No worries on the delay Thanks for writing back Yeah, San Fran is great. Theres so much to do. Although you probably know it much better than I do. I've only visited it a few times. I dont think I've been to the Cliff house and Ocean beach but I could be wrong. Maybe I have. Your not alone on enjoying spectacular views. Thats one reason I love visiting California. It isnt all that great to live there I dont thin. Maybe I'm wrong. I just think some places are better visited. Sac town is ok I guess. Its got old town sacramento which has a railroad museum but I guess its not as cool as other places farther south. but every town has its own character though. Like Hang town as they call it or Placerville. Thats awesome your familiar where my familys cabin is at. Yeah, its definitely my favorite place and first choice anywhere as far as vacations. We have a back road off the back that leads to I 50 which is the road you spoke of. Its pretty crazy too in some places with huge drops. I like going to Harveys too with their buffet and the slot machines are nice too. I'm not much of a gambler though. I'm originally from Virginia. Fredericksburg, Virginia to be exact. 50 miles south of D.C. and we have George Washingtons boyhood home down the street and loads of other historic places. So its night and day compared to California. I love both though. My dads family is fornerly from California and he went into the Marines in 69 and met my Mom whos from Maryland. So even though I've lived in Virginia for many years I've spent my share in other places. Nice talking to you too

Hi Kevin, so sorry for such a delay! I totally missed the post when you posted. San Fran is great isn't it? Well this is coming from a girl who has SF as her hometown! Have you ever been to The Cliff House at Ocean Beach?? WOW. Spectacular views. If you haven't noticed, I'm a person who LOVES bbeautiful views and serenity LOL. There's just something about being able to sit on a rock overlooking the vast sea of blue water, and hearing the waves crash, and seeing a sunset at the same time. I'm honestly not sure about the 101 Highway thingey. I think that is where you go for the 17-mile drive...I really can't say for sure though. The 17-mile drive does stretch from SF to Monterey though. Also the outlying area surrounding SF is great! Have you been to the Napa Valley and Tiburon/Marin/Sausalito??? Napa is famous for its wine...and Tiburon, Marin, and Sausalito offer incredible views...and are such beautiful towns. Sausalito has this incredible aura about it...it's a seaside town (of course and the shops there are lovely. It's my kind of place. I want to move there (along with Carmel)! LOL...I have never been to Sac-Town. How is Sacramento? Is it fun there? I also adore Lake Tahoe!!!!! It's got to be one of my fave vacation spots You are so very lucky to have a cabin up there You know, though, I was very, very scared while driving up to Lake Tahoe...I was driving around midnight...and the route you have to take is incredibly dangerous (the cliffs)...I felt like the car was going to swerve off and fall hundreds of feet down to the Lake! It's beautiful driving there during the day...but I was scared out of mind during the night-drive! I always am sure to drive extra-slowly whenever going to Lake Tahoe! But anyway, when I was driving on those dangerous roads, I saw those beautiful cabins on top of the Lake...and they are so cute! I told my family I wanted to own a cabin there one day

Nice talking to you!!!
