Day two of drive

So started out in Santa Rosa, CA, decided to take one of the good short cuts. Drove about 60 or so miles of twisty windy mountain roads to get to the 5. Finally got there and filled up truck, 61 gallons. California sucks for gas prices. Then back on road with Roz driving. I was having fun taking pictures of Shasta when a vibration started. Call the crew chief we got a vibration. Started at about 70, but slowly had to go slower and slower. Found a rest area to stop and check the tire, all looked ok (not great but plan was to get them all changed after we got there) except right front. It had a large bluge in the tread. So started looking for tire places close, Les Schwab has always been good to me in the past. Gave them a call and no answer. Website says that they are open sundays, guess we are just going for a drive. As soon as we started down the road you could feel the bump each time it went around. Got there and found them closed but had a emergancy number. Well lets check out the other two places in town. First one did not exist, second one was closed just like every other place in town. Called the emergancy number and then back to Les Schwab to wait. Four new tires and another big bill and we are back on the road again. Made it to Springfield, OR today.

Truck getting new tires.

The start of the day. 80 miles of two lane roads.

More pictures to come.
