Election Day I did leave the kid's house in Brentwood and passed through the Delta area and stopped at Isleton, CA. They have an old Main Street, but with so many closed and unused building it is only of small interest. They started life with many Chinese to help build the area. One of the oldest Chinese buildings in California and is in process of renovation.
My main stop was Rocklin Mercedes to have the oil changed and vitals checked before leaving. It is difficult to justify a $200+ oil change but it is Mercedes and keeps the warranty in force. The big plus is they always wash your car when completed and since my car is a 25' motorhome it is an affordable wash. These guys make sure the car is clean when it leaves and they even got last season's bugs off the front!!
Camping World opens shortly (spent the night here - heavy freeway traffic, but the price is right) and will get the oil changed in the generator. Why not do it myself, you may ask? (Well not if you know me well.) I don't get dirty and they dispose of the used oil. By the way - where does all the 'used' oil go? Some land fill? Doubtful! Then they must recycle it, but that implies re-use, but to whom. And that means a sale to someone so the used oil that the shop charges us to empty and replace with new oil (12 quarts for the MB) must sell it to a re-cycler, right? Why do we not share the profit of our old oil? Sorry, forgot where I was.
Should be able to leave around 9am to head East, through Truckee, past Reno and into the Northern Nevada desert.
More later
