Day 11 The Other Woman on the move

Today we got our almost free breakfast between her points and giving me
4 dollars because I had a CDL license ??? That ia new thing since their remodel
we had a cheap breakfast, Got out of 7 Feathers around 10 with some cheap
Indian fuel and hit the road. Things went good over hill and dale till we got to
the I-5 ---205 split where a semi caught fire in the S bound lanes but N bound
got held up too,  the damn truck was on the S bound shoulder why stop N bound
am getting a bit anoid with fire people after being held up for 2!/2s on 299 and
the fire had burnt  thru there 2 days prior. So then we get to Woodland and the
Freeway is shut down again for awhile BUT we made it home !!!!!!!!!!!

Day 10 The Other Woman on the move

On the road by 7 and no cattle prod !!!! We rolled out of the park before 7 with
the old sun beating down already. Run up to Red Bluff took on enough fuel to
get out of Calif and over the hill to that cheaper Indian fuel.Traffic was lite so
we could roll right along and not much smoke from the fires. Got into 7
Feathers RV park with a park free ticket with my co-pilots contribution to the
poor indian fund. This placed is packed every time we are here. I think the indian
has outsmarted the white man !!!!!!! Will roll out for home in the morning and
get back to some of  my projects .  #1 fix daughters car that broke down  the other
day.

Day 9 The ther Woman is gonna move

Well, the races are over and we are ready to leave probably never to be

back to Chico and the Silver Dollar speedway. Hope to get a some what

of a early start in the morning.  I think my co-pilot had another free stay

at 7 Feathers that we will use. She got beat up pretty bad on our way

down at the Casinos I hope her luck changes !!!!!

Day 8 The other woman is still resting

One more day and we are out of here never to return. So last night they had a bigger
feild of dwarf cars than winged Sprints,and to put the icing on the cake the PA system
was all  screwed up couldn't understand a thing they were saying ! The  Sprints that
ran in there heat races just went out and kinda hot lapped like nobody wanted to pass.
The feature wasn't much better they did mix it up some the last 10 laps of a 30 lap
feature. I sure hope they put on a better show tonight !!!!!!!!

Day 7 The Other Woman is resting

Well it didn't make a 100 today but still to damn warm. Our air conditioning equipment
is getting plenty of use ! We had to make a trip to the Olive Pit so my co-pilot could get
some kind of special Olive Oil !!!!!!! When it cooled down a bit we did some tow tarp
repair for any chip seal roads we might encounter on our way home. We decided not to
go to the races tonight just migets and Focus cars.Just hope a few more Sprint cars show
up for the races this weekend.

Day-6 The Other Woman on the move

Pretty laid back day, visited with a few people at the Elks ,met a lady from
'The Singles RV club that was good friends with another single lady that
had hooked up with Mel from our club, fun couple. We moved to our Chico
camp site this afternoon and went to the not like they use to be races in the
evening. Unless they pull a rabbit out of there hat for othere race program
here this will be our last year. It seems that alot of people have already decided
to do something different, normally this camp ground would be full and its
only 2/3 full same at the race track.

Day- 5 The other woman is gonna move

Well today was sorta a fix it day, repair the lite cord and tow bar damage but nowhere
could I find any rubber rope to fix our two tarp. So we wasted away most of the day .
Days back we had already made plans to go to Jacks steak house for dinner, the steaks
are great but the green salads are pretty damn good to !!!! They even chop the lettus up
like most places use to do,now the lazy  ******** just through some leafs on your
plate and call it a salad damn lucky if you get a slice of tomato and enough dressing to
even get started !!!!
  Check for picture of  tow ball

day4 The other woman on the move

WELL ANOTHER NOT SO BORING DAY ON THE ROAD!!!!! Got a good

start this morning without the cattle prod.Took on a load of fuel and headed up 

over the HILLS. Got thru inspections at the boader and headed on down to our

turnoff on 96 thru happy camp along the Klamath river what a nice curvy drive

heavy smoke at times. This is about 130 miles of twisty turny road and narrow at

times.We have thru here twice and had some kind of a trouble each time so this

was going to be the last and trouble free trip down this route WRONG !!!!!

Out on 299 heading E  towards Redding just rocky & rolling  thinking we have 

just made our goal a trouble free trip down this road I FEEL THIS SUDDEN

JERK {****] I glance in my mirror and see the side of the tow car with the 

tow bar dragging on the ground .Was able to sorta get off the road. This a first,

the stem on the 2" tow ball[sheared,broke off] what ever you want to say. I have

always be a fan of toad brakes if we hadn't one I believe the Jeep would have been

200 feet down the bank in the river. So my co-pilot got todrive, about 10 miles down

the road traffic came to a halt afire had burned thru the area 2 days ago and they were

only letting traffic thru every 2 hours [ come on ] whats the fire going to double back

and burn every thing again all the buildings trees and brush are gone. once we got thru 

that bull shit  got into Redding and hooked up with our race friends at the ELKS

Day 3 The other woman on the move

Lost and assumed thrown out 1 cattle prod !!!!!
 Got up this morning to heavy smoke got a bite to eat and hit the road S, got
a little worried thought we missed our turn to get on 42 when we found  out
we were OK !  not a bad road but heavy smoke and poor visabilty in some
spots. Made into 7 Feathers but still heavy smoke . Will hit the big hill early
in the day get into Calif. then bail off I5 onto 96 down thru the Klamath
river and Happy Camp .

Day 2 The other woman on the move

Well the batteries went dead in my cattle prod so we didn't get out of camp until after
9 this morning. Just because we are retired doesn't mean there is always another day'
lets get this show on the road and see whats around the corner !!!
Once we got on the road traffic was pretty lite and not much smoke but that changed
the farther S we went . My bypass road around the Casino was closed so I had to go
past the casino and that old magnet just pulled us in, brakes locked up and all and they
even had a spot with our name on it, I wonder how that happened? Got a front row spot
overlooking the bay by the time I got us unhooked and plugged in I tried to find my
Co-pilot but she already had disappeared in the smoke with those almost free Casino
 bucks that were burning a hole in her pockets .

Day 1 The other woman on the move

Well, on the roadagain  ! Our target departure time this morning was 7 but we made it
by 6:30 . Its amazing what a new set of batteries will do in a cattle prod !!!!  Made it
over the R bridge without any traffic problems but Cornelius pass was a different story
ended up going into the big city and over the hill, East bound into portland was backed
up for miles makes me think of that damn Seattle.Traffic was lite heading towards
Tillamock. Got the next to the last spot at the Elks campground and they are putting in
8 new sites.
 Headed out to find the old cemetery that I discovered,  had family buried there ,dating
back to the 1880's found 4,forsure grave sites with a very nice marker $$$$$. This was
a neat old cemetery on the hillside with this BIG old tree over looking some of the grave
sites. Makes me think of Boot Hill   !!!!
 So after all that excersise we went to ELKS lodge in town for a big old Prime rib dinner
and a couple cold Buds for desert
 In the morning we will head S into the Smoke
