August 18, 2023 A Travel Day

I hesitate blogging this 10 day trip, since we are minus a truck, a camper and our doggy, Finn. However, we are still on the mission to complete a visit to every national park in continental US and this trip will add 4 more to our list making us have a total of 51 in the lower United States. So I will post!



due to the smash and grab activities that are going on there these days!


The hotel staff was quite upset by these visitors who had evidently been rooting around there the night before. They called the police but they did not show. When looking up what these swine were called, I found headlines in the San Jose’ paper…Wild Pigs Ransack San Jose’s Lawns and Garbage Cans, Wild Pigs Run Amuck in San Jose…Residents Want Repayment, Pesky Wild Pig Problem Leads the City of San Jose’ to Allow Trappers to Hunt Using Bow and Arrows.

Hi Karen! We are flying to San Jose Sept. 6 so your post was very interesting to me. Wild pigs! Yikes. Molly is starting college at Santa Clara University which is why we’ll be out there to help her get settled. Looking forward to reading about the rest of your trip.
We saw them several places in town. They are feral…not friendly. She is going so far away from home!!!😥 is she studying something in the film industry?
Karen–we’ll have to look for those pigs! Molly chose Santa Clara because of it’s civil/environmental engineering program as well as the wonderful scholarship they offered her. She was deciding between several schools in Colorado and California and Santa Clara won out. I hope she’ll love it, but we will definitely miss her!
She will be a great excuse for you to get some California visits in!🩷
Stay safe and have a wonderful time!
Thank you!
Way to start off your trip with a wild adventure. I wouldn’t have been crazy with a NO WINDOW in a window seat. lol
No choice on the No window. Not a single seat available to change it up. We were wondering what was there instead of a window?
