170915 - IA to WA - Day 8
Good breakfast, lots of food. Just none of the huge bismarks they have in Bismarck.:) Rain, and it will rain most of the day. Hopefully they are getting some of this in MT. Our first stop is at a rest area just east if Bismarck/Mandan. Then on to the Pizza Ranch in Jamestown. Then fuel in Fargo. For...
170914 - IA to WA - Day 7
.Left out of Missoula and first stop was the Flying J in Butte. Town Pump co-brands most of the Pilot/Flying J's in MT and they don't honor the Pilot discounts so I didn't get to save my $.03 a gallon. But it was still the cheapest fuel around. Lunch was next a Livingston at the Cafe at Clarks Cross...
170913 - IA to WA - Day 6
Today seemed to be a better day, no major delays, opps or ???... at least not that cost us anything. I did realize during the night that I had not sent in all my paperwork for billing so that was an early AM call. Told our storage lot we would be there by 7 am, which was when they opened. Traffic wa...
170912 - IA to WA - Day 5
Tried to call my pickup early this AM but no answer and then left a message, finally got a call back much later... it would be noon before I can pick up the first car. Breakfast was good, real eggs, bacon. So we had the AM to kill until checkout. This part of the trip is not the money maker, a full...
170911 - IA to WA - Day 4
Two hour time difference, awake at 5 am because that is 7 am home time. Bee's are still busy on our RV's in the AM so we let them be. Guessing on the fuel range, I should have enough fuel plus 35 miles but there could be a lot of 'splash' in an 80 gallon tank so we both put in an extra 2 gallon at R...
170910 - IA to WA - Day 3
Today... real breakfast, made to order at the hotel included in price. The trees kind of overhang the parking lot at this motel as I had to take the long way out. It was OK getting in because the lot wasn't full of cars yet. Five miles down the road and we get flagged into the scale, someone is ahea...
170909 - IA to WA - Day 2
Motel had breakfast, but the OJ tasted like water, the apple juice tasted line water, the cranberry juice was empty... so I drank water. The yogurt was not outdated, that is the best I can say about it. A few miles down the road I remembered that I had not printed our MT permits, this could be a has...
170908 - IA to WA - Day 1
We were hoping that the office would add more runs after hours last night that didn't happen (it happened tonight:) ) We have been off work Tues, Weds, Thurs watching the loadboard for a trip that works based on the days, miles and weather. This AM we finally took two RV's to Pasco, WA. We make that...
