Mick and I board the plane and get settled in for what we thought would be a quick flight to San Francisco. I look across the aisle and see a young lady holding a British Bulldog pup on her lap. I strike up a conversation and find out that she is a bulldog breeder and […]

I caught the Motel shuttle to the Memphis Airport that was less than 10 minutes away; I killed a bit of time before the Frontier Airline desk opened up. I went over and spoke to the staff (couldn’t believe it was a mother and daughter team) and clarified the issue with my double charging of […]

Next morning I head into downtown Amarillo and take a few photos of the old buildings; I then head out to a place which I had read about; I pay a lad $10 for the entrance fee and he gives me a guided tour of the collection which is spread out in 2 large […]

I sleep in on Saturday and basically did nothing at all but send a few emails and watch a couple of MotoGP races that I was behind in. I cook a massive steak for tea and even get reacquainted with vegetables. The next morning I get up and do my washing and start to get […]

I am writing this blog sitting in front of an antique fan in a room without a light – luckily I have my tent light which is a ripper. I am in a small town called Gridley which is about 100klms north of Sacramento. The outside temperature is still 36 degrees – I had booked […]
