Warmshowers Visitors
By Doris Tuck Three years ago, in June 2019, we hosted our first Warmshowers rider, Alistair, a doctor from London who was riding across the country. He rode down the coast from the city, which was probably a really great ride until he had to turn east and over the Santa Cruz mountains into the 106º that was Santa Clara valley that day. He stayed with us two nights, then headed over Mount Hamilton and down into The Valley, then to Yosemite, and on across the country. July 25, 2019
Dan Luckster, spur-of-the-moment, arrives evening and leaves early in the am for Santa Cruz. He was riding from Vancouver to Tijuana. He contacted us by phone (not thru Warmshowers) and pretty last minute, so I was very skeptical and decided not to do it. But when he called again later in the evening and had not yet found a host, we really had nothing else to do, so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did. We were delighted to get notice of his arrival in Tijuana and hear a bit about his ride. That makes it all worthwhile. He arrived in Tijuana on 8/29, then was to take the Amtrak back to New York.

We hosted a couple of guys from, I think, Finland, but I did not record this visit. These young men were very interesting, and we enjoyed them. Wish I could remember more. Maybe they will see this and write to me.
And then there was Covid...no riders for a couple of years... |
