Bob had an outing. Karl and I had a nice long walk. It cooled off to 53 overnight. Overcast this morning but I believe forecast is for clearing. In deference to Sunday and a full and quiet park, we are delaying leave-taking until 7:00 a.m. – the end of quiet time.<\/p>\n
I’m looking forward to today – hope to stop for a bit somewhere near Mt. Shasta and enjoy the cool. Our route today is I-5 until near Sacramento when we pick up I-505 into Vacaville.<\/p>\n
8:20 First rest stop – finally cleared the overcast into hazy sunshine. Forgot in previous posts – the lupins are blooming along the highway along with something gold – very pretty with the lush green. When I got fuel this morning – an oh, in OR you may not pump your own…darn!! – 2 people attended me and they had questions about my travel so we had a nice chat AND they cleaned my windshield!!! – I LOVE OR! The young woman reminded me that the reason OR is so green is all of the rain. She and her family had moved from AZ – she said it took awhile to get used to the rain.<\/p>\n
Ok – warming some coffee, making a breakfast burrito, will take a quick walk with Karl and off we will go.<\/p>\n
10:00 a.m. Medford, OR. Engine Service light on and reduced engine power. Pulled over, stopped and restarted – all ok. I forgot to check the gas cap after someone else refueled which I know better! I’m suspecting that might be the issue, causing that vacuum thing that happens when the gas cap does not get seated correctly. Have reseated and will continue. Anyone with a GM engine that knows the sequence for turning off the engine service light, please send it on – comments or email: ann at beardogco dot com. I couldn’t find it in my manual and won’t be able to get anyone today or tomorrow. I’d like to reset and then see if it comes on again. I have it somewhere but can’t think where at the moment…<\/p>\n
11:45 never mind – Google!!! – I found it and all is reset and I had no problems in the last 1 hour 45 – even over 2 mountain passes including Siskiyou. Hopefully just the gas cap. I’m stopped at a rest stop in the shadow of Mt. Shasta. Had lunch. Karl and I will walk and take some photos before getting back on the road. About 71 – very hazy but not overcast. <\/p>\n
3:45 last rest stop after fuel stop. All still ok. In Willows, CA about 90 miles out. Hope to be in Vacaville plugged in 6-6:30 latest.<\/p>\n
6:00 p.m. arrived Vacaville. No dramas, all well, just tired and hot. More later<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
