We decided to head west from Westwood to deliver Kae’s bike to its new owner Katherine Pollack in the little town of Etna over in the beautiful Scott Valley area of Siskiyou County, northwestern California. This is a rich farming and ranching region of large hay fields and distant ranges such as the Marble Mountains. Etna proved to be a sweet little town of around 700 people with many murals on its Main Street stone and brick storefronts. Bruce and Katherine live just outside of town in a lovely home they built themselves. They are family oriented, fun-loving and fabulous cooks! We were treated to a home cooked meal straight out of Kae’s memories of her farm and ranch summers in Montana: grilled chicken, grilled corn, grill baked potatoes and a pasta salad (not grilled!). Everything smothered in rivers of melted butter and mountains of mayonnaise! Yes! Carbs, calories and cholesterol! So darn good and so darn bad! After dinner we concluded our electric bike sale along with the double bike cover, helmet, tool kit and lots of hugs and thanks.
We now knew we had to hustle to make it all the way up and across Oregon to the forests near Boise, ID to meet up with our lovely friends Cat and David by July 14th.
This is Lupin who was our neighbor in the RV park we stayed in. 3/4 Wolf & 1/4 Huskie. Very sweet but she looked at Tara like she was a snack. Sort of creeped me out.
