September 10, 2012

We left Lodi at 9:15 and drove on Hwy. 12 across the Delta.  We really like going across the Delta, but the road is getting in worse shape every time we travel it.  We turned onto Hwy. 160 and driving along the waterway.

We parked at the Antioch Fairgrounds RV Park.  At 11:00 Lori came to fetch me.  After getting Natalia, we went to Sam’s Club for a new tire for Lori’s van, and to eat lunch.  On our way back to their apartment we went to a thrift store for a few things for Natalia’s new “digs” in Burbank.

I stayed with Tucker and got acquainted while the other two went back to Sam’s for the van.  Tucker really does like to have his tummy scratched and will stay in one spot as long as there are scratches to be had.  And I had plenty to give him.

Bill came with the loom that we brought from Fort Collins.  It will be interesting to see what projects Lori will weave on the bigger loom.

After dinner, Bill and I came back to Antioch while there was still some light.  There were hundreds of cars in the parking lot, here to watch a World of Outlaws race on Fair Grounds dirt track.  We didn’t go to see them, but could certainly hear them as they sped around the track.
