We were ready to head out on Wednesday but we were waiting for the perfect run ... and to see which way the storm would go. A lot of high winds with this storm so no fun driving with an RV. We had though we would go SE where there is more work but no good runs showed up that direction ... and that is where the storm is heading.

We waited until mid-day Friday to pick an run and there ended up being twice as many units to pick from by noon Saturday. But by waiting we missed the snow, so an easy run to IA on Saturday morning.

After a quick stop at the rest area in Northwood we were at Forest City. It was cold so that motivated us to get in and out of there in less than an hour. And this unit has 'Willie Radio,' know to most as XM.

Next stop was Casey's in Forest City, we both needed fuel and it was just as cheap here as down the road. Or so we thought, it was five cents cheaper in Gardner.

We forgot we were going to need permits, so it will be a shorter day on Sunday. But we did remember to take our noon break and we did that at Williams at the Flying J. Subway.

Another two hours down the road we are at Osceola, IA and a rest area there. This stretch has 5 parking/rest area's in less that 50 miles.

Next fuel stop is Kearney at a QT, I make it with 30 miles to spare. Only diesel at one island and a pickup with a trailer gets in between us. But he needs more room and lets BB go ahead of him.

We've timed this pretty close, we get to the motel less than five minutes after sunset. The Super 8 and Comfort Inn are about $5 difference in price so we end up at the Comfort. Not as much truck parking but we both have little RV's this trip. Non-towable so that is an extra $125 each.

In the parking lot is an Applebee's so that is supper. BB had a good meal so we will be back, last time at a Applebee's it was not so good. I had a brunch burger, a lot more food than I needed.

The next couple of days will be mostly off freeway. Not having the permit will cost us about 100 miles and a late start but we should still be able to make delivery Tuesday morning. If no work out of AZ/NM we will head back to IA and head out again. November was a busy month last year and so far the numbers are staying ahead of last year.
