Many of our roads in El Dorado county are in deplorable condition. I think wheel alignment is the business to be in, due to the many, many potholes, and Lawrence Road is a prime example. Lawrence Road winds its way over the hills past ponds and meadows and through the forest. Going even 30 mph is enough to rattle your teeth, but coming up on one little hamlet there is a "Go Slow" sign that makes me smile, but I obligingly dropped to 15. There is an advantage to the slower pace. If and when you can give your eyes a break from looking for the next wheel trap, there is beautiful scenery along the road, including this herd of, if not longhorn, at least well-horned cattle and calves in a field. What made me really laugh was the sign at one point that said, "Road narrows, visibility limited." Lawrence is only a one-lane road as it is, and there have been times I've had to back up to find room to let an oncoming car pass.
As predicted, the temperature dropped, and we ladies went outside to stand in the sunshine for a while. Kit had come up from the San Diego area where it has been in the high 90s, so who could blame her for putting on a winter jacket on a low 60s day? As it always is with these friends, time passed too quickly and it was time to head home.
It was a good day.
