So last year around November I make a new internet buddy (Justice14) and he introduces me to his friend Neil. Neil has a 1971 Bronco he wants to unload and I'm in the market. Next thing you know We've agreed on his price and a trip to Oregon.
I decide to rent a trailer in Klamath Falls and not take mine. Two days before departing U-Haul calls and says there is no trailer in Klamath. I have to head on over to Ashland to get my trailer. okay slight change in plans and the rental gay said Ashland is only 30 minutes from Klamath on Hwy 66.
Friday night I load the wife and youngest and off we go. Around midnight we found our hotel. The following morning I get up early and am at the U-Haul rental office when the old-timer opens the door. As we both walk back to the office a lady walks in. I do the gentlemanly thing and allow her to go first (Bad Idea # 1).
Apparently the fella that runs the U-haul office was not computer savy and it took him an hour to just give up and complete a paper rental agreement with the lady in front of me. Needless to say it was 1030 (store opened at 8) before I was on the road with my rented trailer.
Well Hwy 66 is not a short cut and after about an hour I realized we were on the scenic ride so I made the best of it. Being we were in the deep woods of southern Oregon and my 7 year old daughter would not pee in the woods last year Elk hunting I thought it would be a good time for her mommy to give the girl some lessons (Bad idea #2).
At 1330 (1pm) family and I finally make to Klamath falls. Neil arrives and the Bronco is everything he said. A fast exchange of money and I load it on the car trailer. The plan is to head down to Weaverville and do some Bear hunting with my daughter for her birthday.
We take Hwy 97 back to Weed. Nice ride but stopped four times for road work. Needless to say we didn't get to Weed until 1730. We decide to mad dog a run back home and forgo the bear hunting for another weekend (bad Idea #3).
