Summer Journey 2015

With the truck back in good health it's on to jefe4x4 home in Nevada City.
A few donkeys are enjoying a morning breakfast in Reache Canyon near our home.Travel on Southern California Interstate was it's usual jam fest.
Traffic opened up after Castaic Lake, starting to make good time, then BAM a loud explosion under the hood and Julie yelling "there white smoke coming from the back of the truck!"
As it turned out the noise was the worse thing that happen, I think Murphy trying to keep us from doing this trip. A clamp on the high pressure side of the turbo gave out and broke, lucky for us I had some garden hose clamps with us, a quick patch and off to the Ford dealer a few miles away.
Back on the road again with new clamps we made good time north bound, stopping some time later at a rest area.
Arriving at Jeff's place after 11:00 pm, it was hit the sack time.
Jeff and his wife have a beautiful home and he showed us around.
Some how I fail to get photo of Jeff and his lovey wife, but the cat seem to be around any time I had my camera out.
We were to be on the road the next morning, some more visitors were coming a day earlier than expected. Jeff you have a great home in such a beautiful spot.
