WE ARE GOING TO SPEND SOME TIME IN FIREBAUGH!

yeah,I said Firebaugh!

We had hoped to be able to spend a few days here as there is no security on peoples wireless and I can get free internet while we are staying free too. It is a camper's dream.......................... not!

Truth, we are @#%&*+& !!! stuck!

The damn tranny quit on the I-5 and we were towed to the closest Ford repair last night. We spent 7 hours on the side of the hwy with trucks blowing us like babies in a cradle and Karl cried the whole time asking Larry to drive on!!! The first tow truck that took 2 hours to arrive could tow the Malibu but I have now idea why the heck he came all that way knowing it was a 35 foot motorhome! The next truck took longer and it was a massive diesel as one would expect. The Good Sam agents we called for our free towing called tow companys that were 2 hours away and there were ones much closer like 20 minutes away! It will cost them a bundle for the two and the first one should not be able to charge as they knew how big we were and the sent their mini truck anyway!!

We will find out in a little bit when the dealership opens just what the bad news really is!!

but hey, the sun is shining!!! and it is going to be hot and there are about 30 wineries in the area!! cup half full so to speak!!

Hi Guys! Hope things have improved by now ~ if not, tip a few.... "buckets of good brew!" Such is the world of Rv lifestyle. As you know, all have their own horror stories ... ours was having the toilet break down in the Calif. desert.... that was FUN! But, met a nice repairman in Anaheim ... of course he was nice....made $$. Let us know how things are... hugs to all 4 of you!
