Wow ...
Just got home tonight from our trip to the Northwest coast ... and What a trip it was. (Daughter got married on Friday the 13th !)
Already mentioned the leaking A/C ...
on the trip home we got caught in a nasty Winter storm in Northern CA and were stuck on I-5 for FOUR HOURS in a snow storm Saturday night. I-5 was shut down for several hours and we were stuck in the middle of it all. Snow and ice just piled up all aroud us. When they re-opened it was under a "Chain Control" where you needed chains or 4x4 to get thru. We had no chains, but did have 4x4, so they let us thru. Couldn't believe how well the truck did pulling that trailer up and down those steep slippery grades.!! took another 2 hours just to get down off the mountain and out of the snow !! Hit a truck stop at 1am, put out just the bedroom slide, and hit the sheets !!
THEN on Sunday there was a small earthquake just east of Bakersfield as we were coming thru.
Needless to say, we're gonna sleep good tonight !!
