Californe iaaaaaaa

Hi everybody

The latest trip was a big one and a first for me.

Started at teh peg -14 cent !



This is the perimiter highway and the ice is pretty scary.



Anyhoo empty trl to winkler hook and drop,( had to shunt a canex trailer from the ramp and mess about in the yard there.)
got the papers faxed to the correct broker eventually, then its sunglasses on and bay watch here I come.

Border crossing was penbina and the scanner was down due to the weather LoL,guess the Uhmericans don't like to get cold!

As the snow in yellowstone was pretty bad with chain ups and all that crap the route i took went over denver up the I70 and on to Las Vagas






Some of the landscapes are amazing,K on through las Vagas (no time to stop and gamble,not my scene anyways)had no bubbles so no troubles and on to Oxnard,passing thru the outskirts of L.A.past funny streets like Hollywood Boooulivard,
