Computer hinger repair
I picked up some epoxy at the Napa parts store on the way up as we stopped there yesterday for a part.
Last night I set up the computer for gluing it up. I first used some epoxy putty to glue and make dams so the next liquid epoxy I applied didn’t run through and all over the place.
After the putty set up, I applied the liquid epoxy in several different coats. I think I used about three thin coats for the mend. I then had to let it sit overnight to cure up.
Here’s the hinge glued up.
This morning I checked it out thinking it would just crack apart when I folded it up, but it didn’t and held. So if I’m careful enough it might not break while I use it.
Heading out
We talked it over this morning and decided to go back down where we were camped a couple days ago and spend some more time in the Plumas forest. But on the way we decided to stop at the Warner Mountains as it was on the way and would be a good place to camp and cut our traveling day short as far as traveling goes.
We pulled out of our camp spot and turned left on H 395 south. There is a huge salt type lake on the other side of the road that went for miles along 395.
We stopped at the Napa store in Alturas as I needed to get some cell service to post my blog and we needed a break. Bonus was the shade there.
After a good break we headed south on 395 to the Warner Mountain turnoff and stopped for a break here in the shade and studied the map a bit for the Warner Mountains.
Camp
We than continued up the road a few miles and turned on a dirt road we saw looking for a camp spot and found this one on a creek.
The reason we stopped here is we wanted to be fresh when we entered the Warner’s tomorrow, so we set up camp.
The bridge and the creek at our camp.
And a view up the stream from our camp. We will try for crawdads here as it looks promising.

We’ll head up into the Warner Mountains tomorrow.
Nice day.
