Our journey is always interesting...we decided to go to a campground in a town in Northern CA, Kelseyville, on a lake not far from Mendocino. It was somewhat a splurge but we wanted a pretty place. So we left the Sacramento area and headed west towards the ocean to get here, then we see fires...not a good sign. They are a way from us now but evacuations have started in this county.
But the real kicker is the road is very twisty and narrow with 6% grades up and down and the GPS gave us a wrong turn so we had to disconnect the car to turn around. When I started the car the brake light was on along with 2 other alerts on the dash panel. The brakes hardly worked at all..my foot went all the way to the floor to get anything to happen and it sneaked terribly.We had 7 miles to go to the site and Don convinced me that we could make it , so I drove it in second gear at 15 mph to get here and made it. The tow truck will come in the morning...and here we sit...at least it is at a beautiful spot on Clearlake and we have food and beer....and I now feel refreshed after a good swim in the pool.
