Tehachapi to Tonopah .

Wait a minute. What do you mean local pronunciations? Tehachapi is in California and Tonopah is in Nevada. And it would a nice ride between them.

Ha, yeah, I bet those place-names have "local pronunciations" out there. They just seem to fit so nicely in the sequence (as much as Tucson to Tucumcari) . . .

Okay, so . . . heads-up, y'all . . .

Bryan tells me that building 200 is sold out for our weekend (the rooms above the "Game Room").  I just reserved a room in 400 (above the garage) and understand there is one left in that building. 

And this is seven months out! :o

What is up? What changed?

 

There another factor you have to consider;

People who normally take their vacation abroad are now going domestic. It would be easy to think that should balance for those foreign tourists, but as I discovered last year at Yellowstone and Grand Teton, everything was mobbed.

It is actually good for some of the businesses to be "on demand" again after a period of drought. Too many have succumbed from the habit changes of their usual customers.

Around where I live, a lot of restaurants have permanently closed. Those who have managed to survive can't find or keep personnel. Hence, the reason why prices have jacked up so much.

I really would like to be able to travel internationally, but I can't plan anything with the continuous changes in what is required to be freely admitted in the countries I am targeting.

Bryan, Lodge at Tellico innkeeper, tells me there there are seven (of the sixteen) rooms still available. Not sure what the mix is at this point. He does say the "suite" is still available, (two queen beds and a full kitchen below building 300 where Anna served us breakfast last). 

Just a heads-up for those planning this far out. Or this far away (from Tehachapi) . . . if you're willin' . . .

I didn't go there but those are the words.  I did have a chance to see them with Lowell. 

According to the book, backstage they were volatile bunch.  

Yeah, I saw Lowell, too.

Love the Little Feat quotes, one of my favorite bands!  Now, if we could work in lyrics from a Fat Man in the Bathtub..

Hay Mama, hey, let me check your oil alright?
