Central Coast California

The frog is getting around here on the Central Coast.

Last week he was camping on the shores of Lopez Lake where he enjoyed some good swims, through the water was quite low.




Over the weekend, he took in the sites as the Dilly Dally Dog Parade - a costumed occasion for dogs (and one cat).

We've tried to pass him on to new hosts, but no one is biting. So, with us he remains, safe, and entertained.

Traveling Mate Jen,
I am quite enjoying my time with your family. Your girls make me laugh, a lot! They are so very smart I cannot believe it!
Thanks for taking my camping, now that was neat. The great outdoors, I love to be outside, and by a lake - that's what I am talking about. I feel confident in saying that I could have stayed there the rest of my days, but alas adventure calls me!
A dog parade! Oh my I never would have known that is happens. Thanks for taking me there, it educated me on dog costumes!
Till My Next Adventure

Frog Finds Way to California

That's right, after a long, tough, sometimes hot, certainly sometimes frightening trip across the center of the continent, TF is surfing the fine waves of Central California. Unfortunately, while his new hosts do take a plethora of pictures, TF has been quite busy leaping from here to there, so he doesn't always make it into the photos, but his hosts are growing wise and have captured him now and again.

Here he is taking in the stats on the Texas/Oklahoma state line. He liked Texas with all its mosquitos.

I needed a little holding after we hit that VULTURE! Couldn't the driver have leaped over it or something? You shoulda seen the windshield after it was over. SHEESH!

Seeing the sites in Chaco Canyon, Chaco Culture National Historic Monument, New Mexico. My hostesses took a 5 mile hike, but I refused to join them. What are you KIDDING? Five miles through a DESERT!? Not on THIS frog's life! Still, I found some ruins not far from my water source.

Next up? Who knows? My hosts traveled 9,611 miles, the last 1000 or so with me. So they swear they're staying home for awhile. Yeah...we'll see about that!

Best,
Jen in Orcutt, CA

Dear Traveling Mate Jen!
That vulture was very frightening! I am glad that I was in a vehicle with sides for that expierence! Staying home for a bit sounds great, but I guess I will see what you mean when you say "stay home."
Thanks for letting me tag along.
Mr. T.F.
