There was a rather large earthquake just south of Kona.
Biggest one people have felt there recently.
Some houses were damaged and some roads were blocked by boulders.
We were still in California, though, getting breakfast.
Nice pictures.
They duct taped the privacy door hanger to their door.
Barona claims to be San Diego's best casino, but they don't have poker room any more, so we're not going there.
Sycuan does have poker, though, so we'll check it out.
But only after some wineries.
There are multiple wineries in a circle. Some only allow reservations, but we're going to a few that allow walk-ins.
First stop is Rustic Ridge.
They have some old trucks as decorations.
A big bear by the parking lot.
And a bighorn sheep.
The entrance.
Nobody else was there yet.
Inside.
The tasting menu.
Sitting outside.
Another old truck.
Many grapes.
Ogiis swirling her wine.
Both of us.
The flight.
Trying them.
A fun mural.
Some horse jumps.
Passing Jamul casino.
The casinos out here are all tribal ones.
They have a nice view from there.
Headed down the road.
To Valentina Vineyards.
Again, we were the only people there.
That way.
It's pretty hot out.
So instead of sitting here, we'll drink inside.
Neat room.
Many wines.
Opening the first one.
Pouring.
Ogii about to taste it.
The winery is named after their daughter, and her paintings are used for the labels.
Tasting menu.
Some whites.
Some mixes.
And some reds.
Pouring.
Ogii smelling.
Some bread.
We had many tastings.
We bought some of our favorites.
Winery number three is Dulzura.
The tasting room.
Inside.
Tasting menu.
The wines.
There was one other small group here.
Pouring.
Cheers!
Their old family phone from 1096. Their phone number was two.
Their neighbors' numbers.
Going through an immigration inspection headed back north.
To Jamul casino.
Have to go down to find more parking.
She was leaving, so we grabbed that spot.
Yes we are.
Inside.
They had a BBQ festival earlier in the day.
A little band parading around.
Ordering some food.
Burger, fries, and a shake.
The poker room.
They have a big wheel someone spins every once in a while.
Aces for me.
Aces for Ogii.
They have a streamed poker game, but Ogii didn't want to play.
Huge houses on a hill.
Next stop, Sycuan Casino.
The parking is across the road.
You use this walkway to cross.
Inside.
Ogii seeing if any of the slot machines react to touch.
Most didn't.
She tapped them, just in case.
Their poker room.
They also have a big wheel to spin.
With our chips.
I had some food stuck in my tooth, so I walked all the way to the other end of the casino to the little store to get a toothpick. I grabbed Ogii a Kit Kat while I was there.
We saw this Christmas tree with blue lights on the drive home.
