Alpacas on Show & Holy Matrimony

You may have noticed that my posting has been rather sparse in the past month. I've been exploring opportunities and submitting material to other venues in a quest for remuneration. So far so good. This means I've got a back load of content that I need to retool slightly for here so brace yourself for an onslaught!



Last weekend I traveled to Portland to help my parents show their alpacas at the Columbia Alpaca Breeders Association Alpaca Halter & Fleece Show aka the CABA Classic. This is a big show in the Pacific Northwest alpaca world with over 800 animals in attendance. I am not an alpaca person, just a helper, but I enjoyed the event and am proud of Winterbrook Alpaca's showing.

John would have been there also but he traveled to Tucson for the nuptials of our friends Bob & Mercy. I was sorry to have missed the festivities but received a full report on the glowing bride and groom.

We rendezvoused in Phoenix late Sunday. In a rented Pontiac Vibe (our last chance to drive a Pontiac!) headed west and spent the next four days exploring eastern California. Logging seven counties and 1239 miles I've accumulated several posts now queued up to share with you with nary an alpaca or wedding reference among them.
