OLD BARN

After getting our trailer loaded in Sunnyside, WA, we had to back track a few miles to the nearest scale. It seems we have been on a roll lately with the loads scaling out legal the first time, without having to adjust the tandems. As we were pulling onto the scale, I glanced over my shoulder and spotted this old barn. I love the shape of it, and I haven't seen anything like it since I did the posting of the barns I saw in Ohio.
We did stop in LaPine, OR Wednesday night and awoke this morning to a very nice chilly 42 degrees. Sadly, we knew we would be leaving and dealing with the heat in the Central Valley of California. Driving past Shasta Lake, we spotted this sea plane sitting on the lake, after no doubt doing a run over the fires that still persist in the area. We observed many strike teams traveling up and down Interstate 5 this past week.

With a stop in Corning, CA for a lunch break and showers, we headed towards the Company yard, but not without first stopping at the truck wash to get the dirt and grime washed off the truck. With a 1pm delivery in San Jose, CA tomorrow, and with only 75 miles to go, we will be having a very relaxing night, followed by breakfast outside on the picnic tables in the morning while we do laundry. Can't wait for find out where we are headed next!

What a lovely ole barn. Did it have a thatched roof?

I don't think it was a thatched roof. Although it is hard to tell from the photo. If we get by there again I'll have to take a closer look.

Those are water bombers from Port Alberni BC. They use to belong to the US Navy. There use to be 3 but now there is only 2 of them.
