last day in Minden

Our short visit to Minden is coming to an end and we'll be moving to the Bay Area tomorrow. Weather here is very moist and unstable and we had showers starting around noon every single day. We managed to have a quick lunch in the park today before the rain started.

they are not shy at all

We spent the rest of the day chilling at the airport. Just like last year Ziggy decided to cook the Aussie Barbie to say good-bye to friends.

is this a sign of bad economical situation?

The first barbecue we decided to use didn't wanna heat up properly so the boys organized another one, which turned out to be the exact opposite. The grease tray hasn't been emptied for a while and caught fire. The flames were all over the barbecue and Ziggy burned his right hand closing the bottle valve to prevent it from exploding.

let's wait for the temperature to rise

half an hour later - barbie change

the disaster starts

We had to extinguish the flames and Ziggy could continue cooking. Both the steaks and sausages turned out very nice and everyone emptied their plates.

we will not die of starvation (note the amount of glider trailers in the background)

We took it easy over the few days and got some well deserved rest. We are now ready to hit the road again and explore few more places. Tomorrow's destination is San Francisco. We will spend 3 nights in the Bay Area and then go to Yosemite National Park. We already clocked 3500 miles on the rental car's tacho and there are some more to come ...
