The NorCal “problem” tally, not
counting sickness (Marcia is now recovering), comes to: Cam – 1 flat tire
(replaced), 1 GFI ckt out (fixed), two leaks (one still leaking), radio antenna
nearly off (fixed), many screws worked loose (mostly fixed); Larry – windshield to be replaced after trip, cracked hitch (replaced); Barry – 1 flat tire (replaced), another tire worn and
replaced, kitchen faucet leak in cabinets (fixed), windshield to be replaced
after trip, refrig electric not working (switched to gas), and another electric
problem; Mike – very minor ding near trailer door, a worn tire (replaced). (Mike will later feel compelled to replace three tires before going home.)
Mike was very lucky on his worn
tire. We arrived at camp today and he
found one trailer tire worn to metal; if it blew it would likely have wiped out
his drain fittings and caused body damage.
Barry is easily in the lead for number of problems in NorCal, but Mike came up
fast today in terms of potential severity of a problem.
I’ve been carrying two spare tire skins,
old tires from the replacement I did just before we left home. Mike had one mounted to use as a spare, and
Lloyd (from another unit) just claimed the other for the same purpose. Hopefully in the time left I won’t need
either, and I don’t have to figure out how to get rid of the old tires when I get
home.
This camp, named of
Baby Nugget, was substituted yesterday by JJ and is closing down for the season
on our departure. JJ’s intended camp
closed early without notification. Can
you imagine having to find a camp for 37 rigs on short or no notice? JJ and Sandy did a great job solving this
problem.
