GOING WEST

Last night in Truckee Kathe and I noticed the sunset was a beautiful pinky-blue. By the time she took out her phone and took this picture it looked like the sky exploded. Pink sky at night, sailors delight!

This morning we left Truckee and started West on the I-80 towards Manteca, California.  It was a pretty rough ride down the mountain. You know you're in California when as soon as you cross the Nevada State line the roads go from smooth pavement to rough and bumpy concrete. The road was pitted and we kept shaking back and forth in the grooves left by the truckers and snow chains. Funny how all that money Kathe and Jim pay for diesel fuel hasn't changed the condition of the California highways. Also interesting, when we got closer to Sacramento the highway miraculously improved.

We finally arrived here at the French Camp RV Resort where it's over 100 degrees in the shade. All was fine except about an hour after we hooked up, the power went out in the whole park. I tried to talk Kathe into lying down on the cool tile floor with me, but no go!

Turns out someone hit a power pole outside the park and the whole area is without juice for until it's repaired.  Lucky for us our generator has enough power to keep us cool all night long.
