Drew, Chris and Eric riding through Cannery Row, California on a four man surrey bike. The bike rental place made me sign my credit card with the promise to pay quite a bit if the bike pedals got damaged while we tried to drive through the bollards ( the poles that block cars from going from the streets onto the bike paths) Chris drove quite cautiously because the poles left little room to maneuver. Eric drove like a speed racer always trying to beat the other surrey that Terry drove with my mom and dad and I pedaling as passengers. Drew had fun driving crazy close to the poles steering wacky back and forth. We all laughed so hard we could barely pedal. Debbie had a steering wheel that didn't control the direction of the bike. Every time Terry steered us close to the bollards Debbie turned her wheel like crazy and tried to slow down. Slowing down didn't work because Debbie's dad Ken's pedals worked with Debbie's and that made him work twice as hard. Terry loved Debbie having a wheel to keep her thinking she had some control. Terry and Ken both teased Debbie for her nervous concern about the bollards being too close. We didn't get a lot of exercise on the surrey but it sure was fun.

Tree huggers! These old trees survive many fires that make them hollow so we had fun at Big Tree State park climbing inside, on top of and around. We evern walked through a fallen tree. Terry and I couldn't believe would could stand up and walk normal inside a tree. They really are incredibly huge!
