Wes it looks like there's a huge fire about 20 miles from Sandpoint.
They're starting evacuations so please travel safe or avoid the area 🙏 😢
 
Goodnight folks, I shared some pics I thought everyone might like. Been digging through old pictures, talk again tomorrow
Pictures made my day Jimmy!
Thank you very much and good night my friend!
 
Curious - mine does that and the condenser freezes up. I recharged the AC and it got better.
Sorry I wasn't clear. This fog stank of anti-freeze coolant. All the mechanics I called immediately said heater core even though I told them there was coolant visible on the engine compartment. This guy's reaction was the same until he saw the inside of the engine compartment. Then pressure test showed crack in radiator
 
We went camping at Calaveras big trees State Park every year until I was 15
Sometimes twice.
A serene peacefulness Calaveras was, can't explain it really.
Saw the frog jumping contest a couple of times too. They
Don't miss camping, but I miss the park.
All my friends went to Hawaii, we went camping.
We went to Mount Lassen a bunch too.
Love Calaveras Big Trees. We've been there a few times since we were engaged and married. Some of the kids have been there with us.

Seems okay here. We'll see how things are in the morning.

If we can't make it or have to evacuate here that would be about par for this trip. Here's hoping it works out.
