Truckee to Hood!
I worked a bakery at Squaw for eight years so that means that I was at work by 5:30am. Just so you know it has been a few years since that job so waking up early on Tuesday didn’t go so smooth. A. I forgot my skateboard, B. I forgot my iPod and the bad oooops is that I forgot my atlas.
We, Eric our photo guy and team manager, his assistant and Omatic rider Zak Shelhamer, Line tech rep Rom Marrcucci, my buddy Dave and myself, all met at the Porters warehouse at 6am, really early for a few of our travelers, loaded up the RV to head to Mt. Hood. Once I got there I realized all the stuff I forgot, so I jumped on Google to find the map to Hood, hit print and we were off. We headed out on 395 to Susanville and once there we were to take a right towards Alturas but we missed the turn and ended up heading out to Lassen National Park. So we ended up on a little detour, a four-hour detour. POO! Being that there were some photo bugs on board we pulled over in Lassen to take some shots of its most beautiful landscape. Once out of Lassen we headed towards our original highway 299 but soon realized that we were in need of gas and food. We soon came to Fall River Mills Ca and stopped at a gas station that not only sold gas but they also sold bullets, booze and liquor. This little mart also had a little burrito shop inside and I m glad to say that none of us got rot-gut so I do recommend stopping at the Sportsman Liquor.
So remember how I said that 6am was early for some of our travelers, well Rom and Zack pretty much slept the entire way to Hood all while Eric pulled a huge shift behind the wheel. We finally pulled into Hood and Eric and I, as I was co-pilot , we were beat and went to bed to get an early start on the next day!
