Einar
and Rotraud Slogvik
came
to California only to be greeted with headlines like:
"Record Heat Bakes Northern California!"
>>
(reports
of 116-118+ degrees F (47+C) in nearby
Redding area)
<<
It
was a little cooler in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park.
.
. .
We
had visited the Slogviks in Norway twice & they showed us a great
time. Now it was time to try to show them around part of our
country.
July
9 to 30, 2002
|
But they did survive and enjoyed
their visit (but not the July heat).
Heat
beating solutions at our home include sitting down by the Mad River!

In
addition to river sitting and other Mad River "cultural
experiences," we toured with the Slogviks to many places in northern
California, Oregon, Washington and northern Idaho.
We
& the Slogviks took many photos (most of them digital) during these 3 weeks.
We present just some of them here to show the highlights of their visit &
our touring.
