Thanks, that worked.

These are true stories, right?

Are you the grandson of Don & Clarice?

Your writing style is so descriptive & colorful. I felt like I was there as I read Chapter 1 to Larry.

We lived in Cayucos for 18 years, bought a sailboat and sold our beach home all our possessions in 2014 and sailed around the world.

Our daughter Aja Linder forwarded your story to me yesterday. She has submitted a story to Substack about her encounter with a mountain lion in Big Sur.

We have some very dear friends who live out in Cayucos Creek road on a property that was once owned by the Hartzell Family.

We are presently in full celebratory mode hopping from anchorage to anchorage in the Sea of Cortez. We will finally be bringing our boat “Althea” home to her hailing port “Morro Bay” this summer.

We will keep reading.

Yes, it's all quite true. If you keep reading, you'll know the other answer soon. That the story found you given your connections to MB and Cayucos is amazing! We'll have to meet! Kris and I live in Bellingham, but I do get down to CA occasionally, and I/we plan to do at least one hiking trip to the Sierras this summer. Will be on a raft trip and incommicado for the next week, but will be posting more material when I return. Best, Ken

I’m not familiar with the Substack format. I’ll need to surf around and figure out how to find Ch 2 & 3.

Thoroughly enjoyed Chapter 1.

I read it to Larry at anchor in the Sea of Cortez.

If you scroll to the end of the chapter, just above the comment section there should be "Next" and "Previous" arrows you can click on. Or click on the header "Somewhere in the Weeds" and that should bring up the main page with all my posts. Hope that works?
