Vacation Time from Vacationing
Not Fly Fishing No Comments »Well, we survived the interesting world called California. What a trip, all 2250 miles of it.
I’ve lived a total of 13 years in California (nine in southern California), and every time I go back, I’m so glad I don’t live in the city. I really don’t like southern California because it is so over-populated (nothing personal to all those of you who live in/love the place). I try to avoid it. This trip was central California, the Monterey Bay area, which I love. And a couple of days in San Francisco (too big). Highs in the mid-60s for a whole week—that was nice! Fog every morning—not as nice, but it doesn’t bother me too much. We were less than 100 miles north of the Big Sur fires, but most of the smoke is blowing east, not north. When we were traveling from Yosemite to Monterey, and San Francisco to Lake Tahoe, the smoke was incredibly thick considering we were 200-300 miles away from the fire.
No fishing or computer access for eight days. It was nice to be unplugged for a while, but I’m definitely glad to be back. Now I need a fishing vacation to unwind from my family vacation. Doesn’t everybody need vacation time from vacationing? Luckily I have about 40 more days before I have to be back to work, so I think I can squeeze some fishing time in there somewhere.
