Stuck In The Truck

Davey admires the big trees in Redwood Park while road construction stops us cold.

Dave's first one-handed pig in a blanket.

We woke up this morning with a dilemma. How do you eat pancakes and bacon one handed??

Simple. make a pancake taco! We took Bisquick pancake mix and made a pancake. While its in the pan, we then put syrup, and one slice of crispy bacon.

We then put it in a paper towel and folded it in half.

Dave's Bones

Anyone that can identify the name of the broken bone, please comment.

First Day of The Griswalt Adventure

Rob getting no help from cripple in changing a flat... but let's backup a few hours.

Last night, Dave is packed and ready to go. The skateboard calls and as he exits the driveway is eaten alive by the curb and breaks his wrist. No problem the trip is a go!

Rob is on the couch all day. Feels 100 years old. No problem, the trip is ON!

Day 1:

SAC Int'l Airport Flight NW1675 arrives and the plane is empty with no Dave. How could this be??? A search finds him on Delta 1187 an hour later - NO PROBLEM.

109 degrees in Redding - NO PROBLEM

Flat tire on the trailer in Redding (did I mention it was 109 degrees?)- NO PROBLEM

Chocolate chip cookies melt in the heat - BIG PROBLEM!

Big Foot Campground on the Trinity River - NICE!!!

Tomorrow we're headed for the coast and the redwood forest.
