Hi Tony,

Now that's a trip I would have really enjoyed. I love ghost towns. But not in hot weather. We've had our fair share the past two days. In Sonoma it was 106° yesterday at 5PM and 104° today. At home its in the high 90's and without A/C darn uncomfortable to say the least.

But the good news is that I'm not going to BBQ tonight. I did so on Monday night and did on it this new type of BBQ. Its called "Grill To Go." It packs up all neatly so you can take it anywhere and you can use those small gas canisters or a big one if you like. But its a strange thing to get started. I thought it wasn't catching and I kept my finger down on the "press down to ignite" button and then it the ignite switch. The next thing you know the end of one section of the grill blew up and a fireball came out of that thing. I singed the hair off of my left arm and I could feel the heat go up the front of my shirt. But I did get it lit and cooked on it.

I think in view of safety for me and everyone else around when I BBQ I'm going to invest in another grill that uses briquets. At least I won't go around hairless. LOL

Like they say, if it isn't one thing, it's another, but there's always something.

Thanks for the field report, I loved it.
