The Big Trip

Our first day out started in the afternoon. We finally got away a little after 2 pm. Not a good idea, evidently. Traffic was heavy and slow all the way to Stockton. My brother Ernie called when we were in Tracy and said he was in Lodi. We stopped by the Flying "J" truck stop and met him and his dogs Wolfie and Walter for an hour or so. He is a long haul trucker and was headed to Washington. We headed North again about 6:30 pm stopping for the night at a rest stop north of Red Bluff. Mr Milo, our cat, got adjusted to traveling rather quickly but he was taken totally by surprise when we grabbed him and left. He never suspected a thing.
