The Working Man's Route

Mike has his work cut out for him today with this load. But then its no surprise to Mike because he delivers this kind of load almost daily. I can't believe he got all these boxes into his van but he did. What a guy to have on our GSO team. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).

Scenic Highway 36 West

I'm, not sure what kind of trees or bushes these are but they are very plentiful and beautiful as you travel Highway 36 West from Red Bluff to Platina. (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).

On The Way To Rancho Tehama

This big cattle ranch is located on Rancho Tehama Road just off Paskenta Road. The community of Rancho Tehama is another four or five miles further west. As you can see, they just got done bailing hay and its waiting to be stored for later use. Most people think of hay in the large block style bale but the new method is in large rolls shown here.

Country Crossroads

At least two or three times a week I'm at this country crossroad. South on Paskenta Road takes you to Flournoy and Paskenta and north on it takes you to the turn off for Rancho Tehama. Go east on Gyle Road and you come to Interstate 5 which takes you to Red Bluff or Corning. Last week a farmer was killed near this area when he fell into his hay bailing machine.

Almost Gone But Not Forgotten

I bet this weathered old barn could tell some stories and probably goes back to 1882 when Cottonwood was just beginning as a Stage Coach Stop. This one is located on Gas Point Road in Cottonwood. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).

The Dairy Farm on Dusty Way at Rawson

These Holstein Cows are not laying down on the job. This is their rest time after being fed and milked.. I guess the few that are standing are looking for a place to flop. They better watch out for the cow dabs. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).

The Working Man Route

Its usual that we get light loads the first work day of the week, but not so for John. Look at all that paper. He'll have his hands full today making these deliveries. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).
