I'm keeping good thoughts for all my furry friends on the East Coast to stay safe and dry this weekend as the dangerous storm approches....BIG HUGZ

....if mousepaws made it to FC okay?  Please let me know...

Even though I'm not able to go to FC this year, I have been monitoring the drive down from the Northwest...  At this point, if you are not already on the road, heading south on I-5, be advised that the best way to get to the Bay Area will be cutting over to U.S. 101 at Grants Pass (on U.S. 199) and NOT take the 5 down thru the Siskyous or Northern ( Read more... )
