DAY TWO ON THE ROAD (20 Dec 2009): engine check on Rte 5, exit 20 West

It's only day two of our road trip from Oregon home to Massachusetts, and after 250 miles we stop to check the engine of our 1971 VW Westy is running OK.

We've made it over the Ashland Pass in Oregon, past Mt Shasta in California the night before, and now we've passed many miles of farm land in this flat valley near Williams, CA. Here, as we turn off Rte 5 onto 20 West, you can see how flat the land is. Luckily a previous car's tyre marks warns us not to drive too close to the grassy verge, otherwise we might have been stuck.

Our VW van is 39 years old and listen to her go!
