And that is the reason we have done very little travel this month! Never fear though we do go somewhere at least once a month.
Our only real travel was to our timeshare in Indio. Yeah what is there to do there? Nothing, so it makes for a very relaxing get away. My parents were supposed to go with us but at the last moment the canceled. So just Kurt and I went and Santi the sick ferret. We snuck him in via a duffel bag (since pets are verbotten at time shares) and then brought in the cage in pieces. He lived in the 2nd bathroom. It was just warm enough to sit by the pool and BBQ on the deck (we were on the 3rd floor). It started to rain again as we left.
Kurt found 2 dry days and he went fishing with Brad. Once at Castaic and once at Pyramid. Neither time did they bring home any fish :(
We baby sat Oslo the dog so took him on a local hike up Haines Cyn. Then I had to spend nearly an hour brushing the stickers out of his fur before Ty got home!
All the other spare days (weekends) it seemed to be raining. The good news is that a lot of house chores were fixed, like the kitchen cabinet hinges. But the best news is the tile is done in the bathroom!!!!! That is not to say that the bathroom is done for there is a lot more sanding and then painting to be done but the end is in sight!!!!
To end the month we walked into "downtown" Tujunga and went to brunch at the new vegan restaurant that was holding a benefit for the "save the golf course" cause.
We have tried to fill May with more outings/trips, we'll see how it goes. the flowers have already been great so our hopes are to see many more in May.

March
So I don't post on time but at least I am trying!! Not a whole lot went on in the travel dept in March. The weather is still trying to decide if its spring or winter.
However in the middle of the month we decided to go to Rincon Bch in Ventura. The reports said the fishing was "great"! (and we were sick of tiling the bathroom) We loaded up the trailer and fishing poles and headed out. Friday had fog, Sat was very pleasant, and Sun it was cold and drizzly.
We fished Sat near our camp spot, away from our camp spot, in front of our spot. We used big poles and light weight poles. We tried real bait and "fake" bait. I don't know where the report came from but our report was a bust. No fish, very few bites and I am so glad that I packed food for dinner!
Sun we decided to go hiking up the little stream. We had to hike through the very low muddy tunnel under the frwy and then once on the other side we had a fun trail to follow. After 15 min or so Kurt gave up trying to keep out of the stream and keeping his boots dry. I perservered for a lot longer! Eventually the mud sucked me in and that was that. We had to do a lot of stream hoping, rock scrambling and posion oak avoidance. But it was fun! We finally arrived at an old check dam and then climbed up to a road from there for the return trip.
So there was the together camp out and then Kurt had his fun in the sun. He went on a Dual sport ride from Ridgecrest through Death Valley to Beatty Nevada and then back. He rode with his buddies: Howard, Bill and Skip. Howard and Bill took the easier route and Kurt chased Skip. He returned very tired but with a lot of good stories.
Gemia has updated our blog with pictures and background. She is going to add music according to rumor. I will learn all of this so that one day I too can be a blog geek.
