Best laid plans, page six………OK, that’s it, I’m done. It’s time to go
home. I blocked off the back tank with a 3/4 inch PVC cap in the fill
spout and a couple pieces of doweling plugging the supply and vent
hoses. Front tank works well and carries 25 gallons, my 5-gallon tank
would be my reserve. Wednesday afternoon I loaded everything in the
GMC including the wife, dropped her off at the airport to fly home and
I headed out I-10 for LA. Spent the first night at Quartzsite.
Everything was working good. Was getting about 10 miles to the gallon
so every 200 miles was a gas stop (more or less). Spent the next night
in a truck stop just before Bakersfield. Next day was spent driving
I-5 up as far as Williams. Lucky for me the wife was back home keeping
a weather eye out for me. The forecast was for 12 inches of snow in
Southern Oregon along the I-5 route. Now I don’t know about you but
that snow and slush I had back in Dallas was more than enough.
Williams CA was a hard left and out to the coast and 101 North. Spent
one night in Ukiah CA and one night in Bandon OR. Saturday night on
Feb. 27th 2010 I got to sleep in my own bed next to my lovely wife.
Glad to be home……….Terry
PS Next is the epilogue, what I would do different………..
