Sweet Pea visits Klamath Falls
I took a trip this past weekend down to Klamath Falls to visit my dad. Here's some pics
An alfalfa field. Its high desert country at 4100 above sea level.
Lost river, just outside of Olene, Oregon.
Antelope in the field. Wildlife eat or destroys 10% of a farmers crop each year.
Not so wildlife in a different field. Mmmm, steak.
When I lived here in the winter of 1984, the temperature didn't get above 20 for an entire week. Today, its 80f.
Truck.
The plant life is all hardy stuff. These are sagebrush and Douglas fir trees.
Lots of wide open space. If you can't stand people, here's home.
Sweet Pea visits the Bodner farm.
John Bodner is in that combine. He's in his 50's and grew up farming this land. His grandparents homesteaded here in 1910 and built their own home and farmed these same fields.
Everybody should live at the end of a long, dirt road at least once in their life.
My dad's lawn ornament. 1963 Volvo and a tractor or three.
but the interior is in good shape.
Lower Klamath Lake.
Highway 97 heading north.
Douglas Fir trees along highway 97.
There was a forest fire here a few years ago. It's already bounced back pretty good.
Fir trees as far as the eye can see.
That's Oregon.

Funny you should ask. Not as well as I'd hoped. For the longest trip and hottest trip so far, it was a test and she got me there and back which is what counts.how did the Bus handle the trip?
At some point before I arrived in Klamath, she developed a problen: She won't idle steadily and dies frequently at stoplights. Accelerates fine and runs down the road just great but don't let her idle or she'll quit.
On Monday at the Lucky Lab, I raised the idle a bit. Then a bit more. Still, even with a higher idle, the engine "hunts", reving up and down every few seconds and still dying at stoplights. Checked all the vacuum lines and I need to get a few hose clamps.
Need to dig into it but it's been too hot to do anything about it yet.

Amazing pics!!! I love the east side of the Cascades in OR and WA...beautiful country.
For shi*s and giggles next time you get the engine up to temp pop the engine hatch and check to see if the temp sensor II is snug......your symptoms sound strangely the same and my problem ended up being the TS II.
Damn you Randy in Maine

I must have gone through 6 or 7 of those Volvos. Tough as nails(except for the rust problem). Love to have one again, but alas, no space for more cars, no time to fix em, no job to pay for em...
But yeah, I loved those things. British carbs on a Swedish engine controlled by a German electrical system - what's not to love?
