There was a lot of stuff to play in but unfortunately I was on business looking for a place to move to. Here's the long boring vacation photo version, with extra SMB shots thrown in.

So, this is smog…

Nice neighborhood.

The Texas folks were at Fresno (Peter blue&white, ?? black shirt, Charles (owner) white, Lynn (used sales)

I noticed at the meet that a few vans had these screws throught the cabinets, must be a stock thing now.

"Directing the fan flow"…Lake Folsom was 90º the first night… should have bought starcool

DSCF3828.JPG

How I spent my summer vacation. This time was the A/C compressor

DSCF3835.JPG

All the shade and swimming I could find to stay cool.

DSCF3847.JPG

Unfortunately the swimming was a half mile to and from.

DSCF3865.JPG

My first ever plug-in

DSCF3885.JPG

It's not hot… it's just a good time to appreciate all those other times I had A/C...

DSCF3889.JPG

And in the morning… that's not good

DSCF3915.JPG

I interviewed here…

There was gas but no diesel in the Bakery parking lot

DSCF3940.JPG

Climbing to Lake Tahoe, thank goodness I can drive up a mountain without the engine light coming on

50 into Tahoe

Sunset in Crystal Basin

On the way to camp

Union Valley Reservoir

DSCF3981.JPG

View from camp in the morning (Camino Cove). The benefit of no fee camping, you can just move when the red car blares rap music all morning (I hate any kind of music while camping, especially loud music)

The reservoir in front of some people's campsites

Cooking Risotto from a box

DSCF4001.JPG

Glam Shot! SMB should hire me to do adverts.

DSCF4008.JPG

Walk on the beach

DSCF4033.JPG

Some people just don't respect the difficulty of getting here on a dirt road

DSCF4039.JPG

I didn't play much, there are legal two tracks all over the Basin and I could have camped anywhere (AFIK)

DSCF4040.JPG

This is the road out of the campground

DSCF4045.JPG

And back on pavement this…

DSCF4046.JPG

Blown belt internally

DSCF4050.JPG

How I spent my summer vacation part 7, this time the tire. Luckly I limped here.

DSCF4075.JPG

Where to move, where to move…

DSCF4084.JPG

I saw a lot of people on the way to burning man. All kinds of rides.

DSCF4123.JPG

Shot on the shore of (I think) Walker Lake. There were people camped ad hock on the beaches.

DSCF4136.JPG

More people on there way to Burning Man. I stopped to help tune their carb. It was funny to see the hippie lady on a cell phone trying to get AAA or a mechanic… but the treatment of the wrecked van was pretty cool.

DSCF4140.JPG

Random scenery on the way to Las Vegas

DSCF4169.JPG

Sunset

DSCF4172.JPG

Another Photo Op for the SMB

DSCF4182.JPG

Same Sunset w/ Sky

DSCF4203.JPG

Parked in Beatty near another van

DSCF4207.JPG

Turned out not to be a Sportsmobile

DSCF4238.JPG

Another poser shot

DSCF4239.JPG

It's hard to find somewhere to enjoy lunch in Las Vegas. 14 acres, filled with trash!

DSCF4250.JPG

South of Vegas, a nice big dirt flat. I would have played but I don't trust my tires and I'd lost too much time already

DSCF4263.JPG

Little Arizona sprinkle

DSCF4271.JPG

And the rainbow

And finally home, very late, but home
