After
a long day of driving in Nevada we finally got to Anna's mom's place in
Chico. Chico is a pretty cool college town... reasonable to live
in and quite a lot to do. Anna's mom wasn't back from Napa yet so
we got some Sierra Nevada, hung out and watched Napoleon Dynamite until
she got home... whereupon we had quite a nice meal and some good
conversation. It was my first time meeting her mom and I'd say it
went pretty well... I didn't even break or spill anything.
The
next day Anna's Uncle Bill (aka Skip) treated us to a little fishing
experiment on the Sacramento River. We were "skunked" and didn't catch
anything... or was it that "we just got
started"? I can't keep the lingo straight. We did see some
crazy wildlife and a couple of big fish on the radar . And at
least we didn't get arrested by any of the rangers that motored past us.
