Thursday, May 12, 2005: 7AM - Life around the lake. We have seen many kinds of birds around the small lake. Mr. Mavica would like to take pics of these birds, but they are too far away for him to pick up. There are giant geese. Many ducks of different sizes. There are many small black birds with yellow beaks swimming and eating things. They dive below the water for their food and often eat things from the floating plants. We watch them with binoculars from the shore.
This morning the lake itself was sooooo beautiful. Mr. Mavica caught the pic below when the water was very calm and the reflections gorgeous.

9AM - Thinking of heading into Susanville. We need to buy a few more relays for Mr. Levelers' new control mounting. The closest Radio Shack is in Susanville. Did we tell you about remounting Mr. Levelers' controls? Hmmmmm?
We plan to take out all of the electronics which are crammed into a small plastic case, and remount them on a wood board. A front panel will be attached to this mounting board. This front panel will contain the four switches which control the levelers, and the lights which show when each leveler is down.
11AM - Shopping in Susanville. Mr. Mavica saw a mural, and we stopped for him to take a pic. This mural is on a grocery market wall, and tells the history of this town from the pioneer days to present times. The mural is a bit large for Mr. Mavica to get it all and pioneer times are unseen to the right.

We bought the relay that is needed for Mr. Levelers' new control mounting. We also went shopping at The Wal*Mart. There is something about the Wal*Mart that pulls us in there, almost every time we are near!
2PM - Heading for the mountains and our Nite Camp. We drove up road A-1 out of Susanville. It is time for us to make Camp. As we drove higher, glimpses of Susanville could be seen thru the trees.

Hose Adaptor idea for getting fresh water. Have you ever been in a National Park, and tried to fill your RV's fresh water tank only to find that the water spigot in the park had no threads for your water hose? Check out MsTioga's water faucet adapter!
