A day on the road does not disappoint

Even chickens get to go camping!

I saw this converted bus at a rest stop in southern Oregon; it looked a lot like a multi-colored Dr. Bronners bottle, covered in small snippets of what I imagine to be drugged-induced philosophic meandering.  The built-on boxes on the roof of the bus are actually chicken coops, complete with clucking hens.  Lots of barking dogs inside the bus.



Ya never know what you'll find in the trailer after trundling down the road awhile.

Today, I walked into the trailer to find that the toilet paper had decided to unroll all over the floor!  I was grateful that the trailer prank was easy to clean up (unlike the day my fridge decided to vomit it's contents all over the floor).



Walmart stay in Redding a bit 'iffier' than last year.

Apparently, there is an ordinance prohibiting overnight camping; police were knocking on rv's and told my friend (traveling with a friend this year, both in our own trailers) that they were concerned with homeless folk who stayed more than overnight.  While he couldn't give us permission to stay, he pretty much said we wouldn't be bothered if we left in the morning ( that is the plan); he gave some advice on being safe - thank you, sir!

Tomorrow we're off to Nevada, most likely just past Reno.  So far, the driving conditions have been good; lots of fog, but nothing dangerous.  The sunset on Mt. Shasta was lovely; pink and then lavender alpenglow.  No pictures (No place to pull over and I don't think I could take a moving pic without driving off the side of the mountain.).

  1. We only stayed at the Walmart in Redding once, and were also warned by security, but they made us move from the pavement over to the dirt area and then left us alone. Better choices are around we decided.

  2. What a great looking bus. I'm sure FW wasn't interested in getting out and exploring. Glad to hear the roads have been good.

    1. The bus was a real throwback to the 60's. I felt sorry for the grade school girl watching her parents panhandling though.
      We're in death valley now - easy, if somewhat boring driving all the way. Very cold nights - into the 20's! But sunny and warm days.
