Hot and bothered in California


















Its 21:30 pacific time and we are sat in a Flying J in a place called Ripon (43 degree C) which is just south of Sacremento. We had a busy couple of days, we drove down thru Montana and into Idaho, then west into Nevada and south into California, as we got into California we went thru a scale and got pulled on a tech inspection. Our paperwork and logbooks were good but we got shut down on an air pipe leak in the middle of the chasis. We lost an hour and half waiting for the repair and then we were off again.

Up and down mountains till we approached Sacremento then it was south down to Riverbank. We tipped easy enough and headed a few miles north to yet another Flying J which is where i am now. Tomorrow we got 2 collections then we can start heading north

    Dont let them scales bother you. Cali is know for being not-so-truck friendly. Even at the scales.
    Just wait till winter.
    You will drive through state after state without any chain requirements. (no matter how much snow is on the ground)

    California will have full chain requirements up with just a small amount of dusting on the passes!

    The good part is, it never snows on the west side of the mountains.

    If you want some advice or whatever send me an email. I imagine your going through quite a bit of culture shock. And work shock.
