Steinbeck's Monterey

 In 2001, I attended the American Sheep Industry Convention in Reno, Nevada. Mom came along. After the meeting, we drove to Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, and Monterey. After that, we flew to Phoenix to see Aunt Ginny (RIP, 2025).

We thought Dad might want to live here.

At one time, Monterey had a thriving fishing and cannery industry. It was immortalized by the John Steinbeck novel, "Cannery Road" (I've never read it). Now it's a bustling hub of tourism.

My dog's name was Sly, so I liked the sign.
