Sometimes you just have to stop and take a pic, or two, the road from Laytonville was pretty uneventful, except for the trailer tire going flat over and over again, I guess the patch kit is only for a few miles these days, as I had a bike I snagged at goodwill and the front tire was almost half patches, and I road that sucker for a year or so before it finally went flat, totally didn't know it had been patched that much. So yeah the roads in Cali kept me stopping, this bike trip would be so much more fun, if I could only keep biking, instead of stopping to fix tires or other problems... I almost put in an offer on a house in Tx this morning, only to find out it sold, but I am really thinking that I should stop in San Fran, rent the truck and get myself to Tx sooner rather than later, but who knows, maybe once I get past Cali things will end up a little more like I wanted, there's just to many people, or there's nothing that you can make a stop at and do that stealth ...
One of the things I hate about doing electrical work is that my fingers start to cramp up when I'm in some odd spot on a ladder or some such and I just need to twist the wire...grrr. But got it done, lights, done, recirculating fan, done. True I still need to install the filter for the suck side, but I have what I need to do that. You can see all three lights on the great room side in this pic. The picture just doesn't show how bright the bathroom is with those two lights. Lights out, and I also finished that outlet that will be back there by the sink, even used it today to trim the scalp. Here's the light with a shorter bulb on the bottom, thankfully I found a better replacement at HD. Yup, that's air forcing those open, and it's not too noisy either.
First day out of Show Low, only a few orange syringe caps, not like US 77 where there were several needles and almost as many burnt spoons. Only made it about 30 miles, but with it mostly all uphill to 7550ft. So made it down a few hundred feet, into a little valley, doesn't seem to windy, that was where the cold was kicking my behind last time camping, and tonight I have my Bivy and flannel jammies. The weather said it wasn't going to get below 30 tomorrow morning, weird how it's coldest around 7am. Found a drive way for State land, I guess people get permits and go hunting on it, so I'm on the non hunting side, and it's winter, who's out hunting? So seems like a good place to camp. Still dreaming of that two story house in Coleman, that hapless feeling waiting to get somewhere hoping that the place will still be for sale when I get there. I have a couple of fall back places just in case. The second story just screams out SOHO loft art space to ...
