Day Two, part 2

The drive from Klamath Falls to Willow was beautiful with views of Shasta and surrounding mountains. The weather went from very cold to pretty mild within a few miles. It is now fairly pleasant and none of us would mind sleeping in the rigs now. We can’t seem to get the fuel thing down, it seem that every 100 miles one needs to be fueled. In Klamath Falls we opted to fuel all the rigs and get them all on the same track. The attendant filled them all and we left. Eduardo was complaining about the amount he had spent to top off the UP fire engine. It was a lot because it was the first time we actually got the tank full. The attendant only filled the other tank to a half and we didn’t catch that until a ways down the road. Arrrggghhh!!!!

Made it to Willow, just north of Sacramento, were we stayed at the Willow Fire Dept.. Erik Kennedy a FF/PM was gracious enough to offer up the empty space to sleep, coffee in the morning and shower. Thank you, Willow Fire!!!!!!! It is great to sleep indoors and be able to extend your legs all the way.

In the Morning an early start and we are staying in San Fernando tomorrow. The drive should prove to be some long days ahead as we are a day behind schedule.
