Descending Grapevine Hill

We’re going to descend the dreaded Grapevine Hill today!

If done incorrectly, this steep downgrade can be deadly; so, let’s do it the right way.

Starting in Lebec

We’re starting at the Flying J Travel Center in Lebec, California, and we’ll be driving north to Lathrop, California to make our delivery later today.

Lunch in Lost Hills

We’ll make a lunch stop in Lost Hills again.

Delivery in Lathrop

The delivery went extremely smooth and quick; too bad they all aren’t that smooth.
