I’m waiting for a tow truck to arrive near Janesville CA. My injectors aren’t delivering any gas to the engine. We hope to be towed to Johnsonville Just a few miles away.
I’ve posted about six blogs today. Look in the sidebar for Recent posts to help find them.
That’s it for now.
We’d camped here before, a few nights ago. We’re back because it sets us up to do some more exploring, up in the hills from here. That mining is across the creek. I tried to find a way to cross the creek, but no way without getting soaking wet.
There was no easy way to get across the creek. When I was a kid, I’d of just waded across, getting a bit wet in the process. The creek was three or four feet deep.
Last night I noticed that the other hinge on my computer had broken loose, so I spent some time epoxying the hinge. In the process of trying to get the hinge back into place with a screwdriver, I broke some of the display screen. I was hoping the computer would still work, which I would test after the epoxy set in ten hours.
We loaded up the vans and got ready to go exploring for the day. I set up the repaired computer and started it up. To my surprise, it works just fine, which is good as it’s my main navigation tool out in these forests.
We headed out going up this road that climbed up into the hilltops.
We stopped here for a break and to warm up in the sun.
The view from the road. Most of this area we are going through today has had very bad forest fires up here in the last few years that burned most of the trees down, or at least killed them so there is very little green, but the views are nice without the trees.
We stopped here for another break and to check something out.
The forest has burned for as far as we can see.
There were still a few trees left. The roads were pretty good too.
We were looking for a place to camp and finally found some trees to pull into for the night.
Without all the trees, the sunset was good too.
We’ll likely come off these mountains tomorrow and find some cell service near Jamesville Ca. and some gas too.
Nice day.
