A Visit with John and Linda, Pioneer, CA

We drove out to Pioneer today to visit our friends, John and Linda. This was about a two-hour drive through beautiful countryside, ending up in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. What a lovely place to live!

We met John and Linda five years ago, during our RV trip to Alaska in 2010. John has been dealing with serious health issues for several years and so we were very happy to find him energetic and upbeat.

We got to meet their "girls", Kinley and Denali: two almost-grown Great Danes with boundless energy. They are all legs and tails! It's easy to tell that John and Linda love those doggies dearly, and are very entertained by their antics!

We went to lunch at a nearby Chinese restaurant and the food was very good. Afterwards, we went back to the house for a couple hours and just visited. Their home is set back on a hillside in a wooded area and it is a very peaceful setting.

We really enjoyed spending this time with John and Linda and hope we can see them again sometime in the near future. They are hoping to start RVing again soon, so perhaps we can meet up someplace during our travels.
