RETIREMENT ROAD TOUR #1

[AZVAJKU]

It rained pretty much the entire rest of the drive. It will definitely get that dust off my undercarriage!

Originally I had intended to stop at The Barn in Bridgeport for dinner but we were too late. There is always next time.

We did stop for gas in Bridgeport.






Back in the Free State on Nevada.

 

[jeeeep]

those gas prices ...wow

Tioga is one of the best routes. Too bad it’s hard to get to. Sometimes we would pay the park fee just to drive over that way when we were going to 395 for whatever. Those storm pictures are cool.

I don’t think they have changed that sign in 10 years. It’s always $6.50 there.

Awesome shots of Yosemite! One of my favorite national parks. I've found the best times to visit though is from February to early May. Not as many crowds and the waterfalls are roaring. I hated going there this July with all the damn tourists.

This was an exploratory trip for us and we are definitely going back to hike and see more.

Appreciate the tip on the best time to visit, that’s what we were thinking so it’s great to get your personal experience confirming that.

It would be great to see it with lots of water.

After cleaning up Big Yellow we swapped our luggage over to the 392 and prepared for the next portion of our trip. After a great Basque meal and Picon Punches with Eddie and Cindy we were ready to go north with our first stop being in Klamath Falls, OR.

We enjoy museums so we stopped here.




Interesting deco on the building. Artillery rounds for the base of the light poles and the statues of soldiers with rifles.

Imagine a cross country trip, or even across your town with this.

One-cylinder with 7hp!

Also- Does anyone know when steering wheels replaced the tillers?

 

[AZVAJKU]

This next section is little known history for most Americans.

Japanese incendiary balloons.










Great information here on what happened.

The light was bad and I suck at taking pictures













The Government hasn’t changed.

People died in the attacks.






In case you need to make your own…




There was an old video playing with a guy explaining the construction and it was very informative- more so then I thought ‘they’ would allow in this day and age.

 

[AZVAJKU]

I want this!

Any of you live near Klamath Falls and have a pickup or trailer? Asking for a friend.

You called? Haha

 

[AZVAJKU]

I’ll bet you money this guy- yes, guy- is on his way to the dispensary.

Regardless, it’s still a very cool ‘Sami’.

 

[AZVAJKU]

Normally I would expect to see this in East Tennessee, Western North Carolina, and West Virginia.

Very cool for a Scouting project. I hope this young man is somewhere running a distillery.

 

[AZVAJKU]

Time for some chow and cocktails! The young lady who ran the museum recommended this local family run Mexican restaurant. I’m always down for good Mexican food.

Prickly Pear Margs.
