We were out there in it too. (I live near Anton in Santa Cruz County
CA.) Had to go to Cosco on Sunday. The place is normally a zoo with
herds of people packed in there. This time it was pleasantly vacant.
They even had these monster umbrellas for sale right by the door. I
wasn't the only one who bought one. We drove up the coast to look at
some of the wave action. Pretty fierce water out there. Anyway, it's
only water on the road (well, ok some mud, tree branches and other
detritus), but the Q's really love it. Looking forward to going to the
mountains in a few weeks for some snow. Hmmmm... now which q to drive up
there?
