Held up in Red Bluff/

Will stay here in Red Bluff till Friday because winds will gust too 70 MPH Thursday. The winds are from the south and would not be fuel efficient for a boxey motor home or safe. What the heck is there to do in Red Bluff CA? Wait I got it, 70mph winds a kite buggy and a trash can lid for power.:shocked2:

hell no, 2.3 Vapor on 10m lines

safe travels dude.

at 70 mph winds, that trash can lid is a kite wing! keep it between the ditches.

I live 2 hours south of you and we don't have any winds like that forecast through the end of the week. Maybe you could come on tomorrow.

Jon, I was thinking Flexi stacker and sand ski's!

Am report: winds 35 to 50mph, heavy rain and small hail, thunder storms wiith funnel clouds this pm. Hey good ideas guys but I ain't going outside. This northern part of California is wacked and it will be great to get through here to the sun and warmth of Ivanpah.

Grant left today and is smoken down the I5 with all the BC crew gear.

Tracking page is on my FB Page (soon to update my blog)

Just talked to Morrie and they are around Weed and the Shasta pass area requires chains. They are waiting until the pass is clear or maybe in the morning.

""From the South Southeast at 25 gusting to 38 mph."" This is pretty accurate for what we're getting right now. Light rain now and the heavy stuff headed this way. I'm guessing this isn't the day to give the 18m phantom a shakedown flight. :wow:

bugymangp Miss seeing you, are you not bugging anymore since you went car crazy?
Sean don't know what to say as Morrie told me the pass was chains required. But as you know the pass changes for minute to minute.
