Some pics from the roof..

The van is packed and ready to leave for Spokane..  

On the road..  It's the middle of the night.  Everything is quiet...


And then we see the sign..

	!!!

Weed, California:  The only place in the world to get 88.5 octane gas.

We looked for the infamous weed/college sign, but were unable to find it.

The same thing happened when we tried to go on route 666..  they  
changed the sign I bet.  What is wrong with this country?  Maybe nobody 
has a sense of irony?

We stopped for the night at a rest stop in northern Oregon.

It was bitterly cold that night, and early that morning emergency ghetto
rigging measures were taken to get the heat working.

Somebody forgot to re-attach the electric fan, and so to entire trip, it 
had been bouncing around in the engine compartment.  Eventually it was 
dragged into the power steering belt, causing catastrophic damage.  
Eventually the G-cipher team was able to rectify this situation, and only 
got set back a few hours.

We also took this time to add some more oil, and tighten the wing nuts 
keeping the engine block together.
