Jack Bauer's 4th of July Weekend

Jack Bauer's Mission: Deliver St. Bernard named Rufus, A.K.A. Fuzzball, from Kansas City to Livermore, California. Coordinates.

Driving through Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and California. ETA: 32 hours.

The subject: Sedated and neutralized. Actually, mostly snoring the whole way.

Between Salt Lake City, Utah and Reno, Nevada is the Bonneville Salt Flats Speedway.

Rest and refill in Battle Mountain, NV. Note to other CTU agents daring this mission: Gas stations scarce in NV. Fill up Trailblazer more frequently when passing through Nevada in order to avoid having to drive on fumes behind a semi for 50 miles.

Detour to North Lake Tahoe was worth it. The smell of pines was as breathtaking as the view.

Entering target State: California State Line. Rufus resting at Mile 0.

Seulement en Californie! Une Citroen DS. Mort de rire. Translation: Only in California would I see this french car, a great french sedan in the 1970s.

Target acquired. Finally, Rufus and I arrive at our final destination. Livermore, CA is outside of the San Francisco Bay area.

Rufus' owners, happy that Fuzzball was delivered safely.

Jack Bauer's extended 32 hr mission is finally over. Resting in the safehouse/au-pair apartment behind the main house. Happy Fourth of July!
