Subject:The weekend whales of camping

Oh -- something I noted on my camping trip two weeks ago up the West
Coast on Highway 1 from San Diego to Fort Bragg and back: On the
weekdays I saw many, many Westies, driving and camping. But from Friday
morning on through Sunday, the Westies thinned out, while the giant RVs
and trailers hauled by bulky pickup trucks with clattering Diesel
engines took over. Every one seemed to have a little yappy dog.*

 From my campsite at Kirk Creek campground, which overlooks the Pacific
ocean, I watched the Gray Whales migrating south. They get as large as
52 feet long. Turning around, I could see the motorcoaches trundling
north and south on the highway. Saw quite a few 52-footers there, too.

*The smaller the dog, the larger the RV?
