Hail Storm in Dairyville

I took this picture as I was approaching Oklahoma Avenue in the small community of Dairyville. Dairyville is on Highway 99E between Los Molinos and Red Bluff. Sure glad I wasn't there when it poured down these ice balls. Much of the ice had already melted especially in my lane. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).

The Oasis Springs Ranch Road in Paynes Creek

I attempted a delivery last Friday to the Oasis Springs Lodge that the Paynes Creek Postmaster said was at the end of Oasis Springs Ranch Road off Highway 36 East (about 8 miles off the highway). After going through two cattle gates and about 2 miles I decided that this dirt road was not safe for my kind of vehicle. I would need a 4-wheeler to get there. The worst part about this attempted delivery was that it took about two hours and 70 miles making me late for my other deliveries. I will need a new delivery address before making another attempt.
