Shingletown KOA


I'm going to start off with yesterday's fiasco. Since we no longer can use a bike rack, we have to put Jenny's unrideable bike in the car and my bike in the MP when we're moving. I took off the front wheel of both bikes to facilitate getting them loaded. When I walked out to start breaking camp my bike was gone. Some asshole stole it, without a front tire. I filled out police report but it's gone. Ok, that cost us an hour or so. The car brake is acting weird when we hook it up to the tow brake. We needed a sabaru dealer. We found one, somewhat out of the way, and they didn't believe it was possible to flat tow a Sabaru. No one had ever heard of such a thing. No can do. Long story short, they looked at the car and determined I was insane. We are now towing the car without a brake in the car. Totally illegal. Subject change: We are here to visit Lassen Volcanic National Park. We did that today. 2 excellent hikes. There is a thermal area here, kinda like Yellowstone except it only covers 25 acres. I'll post some pics. More tomorrow.
