Rest Stop – Page 5 – Harry Lange

Boron, CA – Tuesday February 13, 2018

Today was the longest day of this trip 464 Miles which got us to the rest stop in Boron, Ca.

Their aren’t many good places to stop in southern Cal but this rest stop gets us into the high desert and has great places to part.
We got one of the island sites so we could have the bedroom slideout out.

Tomorrow we should be in the quiet desert of Quartzsite.

Forget to put the travel maps in:
The last one shows where we set for 30 minutes waiting for the island spot to open up. When not moving the InReach transmitter goes into an every 4 hour mode rather than every 10 minutes, moving 30 feet does not get it back into the 10 mode. I turned it off be it transmitted again.

Orland, CA – Monday February 12, 2018

Yes we are still at the same rest stop as last night.

Sunday evening when I want out to check the engine oil level I saw brake fluid on the inside of the front tires. The driver’s side had more than the passenger side but the both had fluid on the tire and a small line running down on the rotors.
I looked on the internet for truck / RV repair places and didn’t come up with any place that really stood out. I did find that both Orland and Corning have Les Schwab stores. This morning we drove to the Les Schwab in Corning to have the brakes look at.

The calipers and brake fittings are not leaking, couldn’t find a place where any was coming out. It looks like the guy who did the brake job at Christmas got a lot of brake fluid on the inside of the wheel rim and with the brakes warming up coming down out of the Siskiyou’s this fluid flowed down onto the tire and onto the rotor.

We spent the afternoon at a rest stop north of Corning and are now back at the rest stop south of Corning. Tomorrow (Tuesday 2/13/2018) we will drive to Boron, Ca.

While we were in Corning we did stop at the Olive Pit and purchased a few olives. The Washington delivery will not be made until the end of April, sorry for the delay.
Short travels today.
Campsite.

Orland, CA – Sunday February 11, 2018

Forgot to take campsite picture again today. We got here at 4:15, Hank and I walked around the rest stop several times and I never thought of taking the picture.

The weather report for the Siskiyou’s is for snow late tonight into Monday morning so we drove thru and got south of the winter weather. Looks like our spring has arrived and in a couple of days we will be into summer weather.

Update – drive through Siskiyou’s, glad we beat the snow.

Weed, CA – Saturday November 11, 2017

Today is the day to leave. Friday was still windy in the mountains and today is going to be 50 degrees in the pass and no wind.
We left Richard and Vickie’s at 10:00 and go to Weed at 6:11, 375 miles.

When we have space in these rest stops I have started putting the bedroom slide out a little, it sure helps to make the bed just a little bigger.

I-90 Rest Stop and Quartz Flats NFS Campground – Wednesday June 28, 2017

Time to move on:
Heading towards Tanya, Mike and Jack’s for a week. Celebrating Tanya’s and Jack’s birthdays. Jack’s first birthday and Tanya’s more than first birthday.
This is a I-90 rest spot and Forest Service Campground, at mile post 60.
We are in site A7, a nice large pull-through, great since I will not have to unhook the pickup.
On Friday September 15, 2000 I set on this picnic table at 10:30 at night and had my first beer with my daughter.
