Ferry cost (for old folks) was $5.25 and the F Line was one buck. Once there we rode on one of the old trolley cars the F Line to Fisherman’s Wharf. Tens of thousand of people use the Golden Gate Ferry System daily to commute to work in SF. Thanks to CA laws we couldn’t tour any of the factories, guess they think we are germ bags! We did buy cheese at three locations, at Cowgirl Creamery (goat cheese) we not only bought some of their stock but also goat cheese from Greenfield IN Miss Peggy’s home town!įriday we drove a few miles down the road from Novato RV with a new ($500) alternator to the ferry terminal at Larkspur and took the 30 minute ride to SF. We ate out very good lunch from the Marin French Cheese Co.at the pond at their creamery. It was a rainy afternoon once we got into the loaner – so we went a visited 3 cheese factories in the area. We found a shop that could fix it that day and also give us a loaner. The first day we were to start our SF visit we woke up to start Big Red and the alternator had bitten the dust.

They are a little pricey for our budget at 80 bucks a day but we are in the SF area. We stayed across the bridge, north of SF in the town of Novato at Novato RV Park. On the way to the site we saw many dust devils. Here is actual graffiti from 1908, the Indian petroglyphs are thousands of years old.

There are thousands of them in the middle of nowhere covering the size of a football field. Gila Bend has one of the largest concentrations of petroglyphs in the world. Of course we went ATVing, here to visit a gold mine. We are happy to be able to attract the hummers back to us. The flowers of the desert are just now starting to pop out of the cactus. She has her book, music, and phone with the US Border Patrol on speed dial! Peggy works Noon to 9:30 PM sitting outside with the iPad tablet in hand, snake stick in the other waiting for traffic. After dark the gate is closed (or when the cattle get loose), but open during the day. We can find milk and eggs, diesel and Chester’s Chicken – but that is about it.Īs implied we guard the gate here logging everyone in and out. The trip to either takes 25 minutes one way because of the mud/dirt road. Since Encinal only has a Love’s truck stop and Family Dollar there is no place to go. Check out this map on google the blue dot is us. You turn off I-35 (about 35 miles north of Laredo, TX) and immediately go onto the dirt (mud) road Alamo Rd for 5 miles to the middle of cactus, cattle, and rattlesnakes. We are currently serving as oil field gate guards in Encinal, TX, never heard of it neither has anyone else. We have reactivated our blog and are starting anew.
