Friday was a busy day of delivering for us. We stopped at a couple different dealerships to unload those ATVs and the rest of them went to a shipping company near Tacoma, Washington. The final destination for those snowmobiles was Alaska but that was the end of the line for us. This time of year I'd be willing to take them to Alaska but in reality, our truck and trailer combination is too long to go into Canada anyway. After all that delivering, we still had to pick up another load yet and we made it to our next shipper just in time for our appointment. The next load was some 55-gallon drums of some kind of chemical needed for road building. It was a short 500 mile run down to a little town on the northern California coast called Crescent City. Most of the trip was interstate but the last 80 miles was especially scenic. Again, our truck and trailer were really too long to be on this road but it was the only road in and out of the city that we could take. I'm going to rank that trip right up there as one of the most harrowing routes we've ever taken. Tight curves and narrow roads, combined with quite a bit of traffic made it interesting. I was driving while I assigned Jorge the job of photographer. This was one place where he would not let me drive and take pictures. At the end of the road just before we reached our destination, we got the unexpected treat of driving thru the Redwood National Forest. We decided to mark this as a place we must come back to in the car some day. It was breath-taking, to put it mildly.
Once we accomplished that mission, it was time to head back home to Las Vegas. My brother is marrying his girlfriend of four years, Francis, this coming weekend down in Laguna Beach, California and it is going to be a fun time with friends and family. So Big Red is taking another vacation to the repair shop to get a few things done while we're home and we're getting ready for a wedding. Stand by for lots of pictures of that in my next post.
