Road Blogging

In Woodland, California for a day. I was heading over the mountain passes that define the border between Oregon and California and my clutch started slipping... Managed to limp down through Reading and started going along at a nice sedate 50 MPH while spending more time watching the tachometer than the road. Made it as far as Woodland before it started getting bad enough to call it quits. (Woodland is about 30 miles north of Sacremento) They had a Dodge dealership with a great looking shop and they are working on it now. The repair will take about eight hours though (having four-wheel drive complicates things) so I am here for two nights. Nice town -- I'll be walking around taking some pictures later. Had a great breakfast and found Internet access at the local public library. I spent the first night in Eugene Oregon at a Red Lion Inn and let me tell you, their IT Department's concept of Internet Security is false and sucky. I could log in but anything that caused a child window to open caused the machine to hang. Unfortunatly, the software I use for this blog uses popup child windows a lot so I was unable to do anything. I'll post more when I get on the road again... Posted by DaveH at March 31, 2005 10:24 AM
