California

Just words

(Won't be on line long. 20 May to 31 May. Michigan to California coastline. Coyote is going. Left California in 1994. Me and sea. Will be befriended.)

                                          California

When I was young. I believed the hype about the Pacific and California.

I was blessed.

United State Army send me to her in 1992-1994.

Skip L.A and you shall learn.

Highway one, God's country.

San Francisco to Big Sur.

Wine country, the Pacific ocean and the most beautiful terrain,

you will ever see.

Coyote is returning.

The myth and hype about Highway one.

Is true.

He will drink some whiskey for Hemingway in Monterey,

he will dance with the sea in Big Sur.

Drink the tasty wine in the Wine valley and

he will listen to song at the River Inn.

I will take a thousand photos and I know.

I will leave her again,

knowing the Pacific Ocean.

Will become a fond  memory to behold  when old age overtake me.

dear John... enjoy your trip... I went to College 50 miles north of San Francisco and visited the Napa Valley wineries... went snow skiing at Squaw Valley and drove to Glendale for the holidays to visit friends. I know the thrill of the Pacific Ocean... and romance. truly, Pat

Hi John... I was only 19 and flew with my best girlfriend to discover the west Coast.
Many songs have been written and I was smitten. Now I am settled in Virginia amongst the tall trees where birds sing.
“Happy Trails to you... until we meet again”... a song sung by Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. 🌅 truly, Pat

Sounds like one amazing road trip :) You should post some pics when you are done. It is amazing how places we go back to still carries pieces of our souls, so many years later....:)

Time to visit home Johnny?
To see the waves again,
memories in the surf?

We might pass by,
not recognizing the other.

Still,
I hope you enjoy a touch of home.

Sorry,
I couldn't resist.

Welcome home.

I am glad you did and thank Jon for reading and the comment.
