The Nut Tree

Took a load of parts to R.V. Dr. George, where KD is having a lovely spa stay to get her bathroom remodeled.  On the way back I needed a comfort break and on impulse stopped at the Nut Tree.  It's been a long time since I was here last and much has changed.  The once isolated traveler's outpost has grown into a collection of monstrous strip malls.  In the center is the latest incarnation of the Nut Tree itself, with a cute little train, a carousel, and a collection of kiddie rides.

Now I'm waiting for my Super Bird at the Dennys across the road.  Despite it's charms, i didn't see any appealing options for food, and didn't want to take the time to search more.

Chickeny Goodness!

The beautiful bounty of my friend's hens.  I've been helping take care of them this week, and my wages are paid in eggs.  This is today's harvest.

It's been not quite 5 months since I got home from the Big Adventure, and a fair bit has happened with KD, including some towing.  But now I find myself back on the road again with KD rolling along behind.  Heading to Dr. George's RV Repair shop in Sacramento for a second round of work there.  More on that later.

Right now I'm sitting down in a Denny's at the Lodi Flying J.  I can't get gas, since their pumps are all down for service (except for diesel, which Goose can't drink).  But their potties are just as nice as ever, the pull through parking spot was so welcoming, and the familiar, recorded voice over the PA saying "Driver number . . .seven . . .your shower is ready," made me feel like I had come home.  So I thought a blog post was in order.

I miss the road, sitting down to write about what I've seen and done, and the simple comfort of a BLT.
