Left the hotel again before daylight, I needed fuel so I stopped before we got on the freeway. When I first fill the RV it says I should be able to drive over 600 miles on this tank full. But I am actually only getting a little over 300 per fill.


First stop is a fuel stop for BB in York at a Shell, then a stop at a rest area in Kearny, then a food stop in North Platte. Because one of us has a gas and the other has a diesel and because they aren't getting the same mileage, we are filling at different stations. Fuel prices are all over, at this AM stop fuel was $.40 less a gallon than the two exits down. That will add up over a 2,000 mile trip.


Lunch was the Denny's / Flying J in North Platte, we hadn't really talked about it only that there was food there. Penny's diner is at the next exit and is the #2 place in North Platte ... maybe next time. No White Chocolate malts at Denny's, they were all out. Before we leave town I have to stop for fuel again, Sinclair has it cheapest at the next exit.


An hour down the road we are stopping to fuel BB's RV at the Flying J in Big Springs. Somewhere after that BB is flashing her lights at me ... she doesn't know where her paperwork is and we have a scale coming up. Turns out it had just slid from where it was when she stopped quickly sometime today.


Then shortly another unscheduled stop ... all these rough roads have done a number on BB's bladder and she passes me and takes the next exit. Ten miles down the road we are stopping again at the POE. I can't find my oversized exception so BB gets ahead of me in line ... guess she is more organized.


Twenty miles more and we are at the motel ... the Quality Inn in Cheyenne. We could eat at the Denny's across the street but that was lunch. I notice that fuel at a Sinclear close by is $.20 less a gallon that the Flying J and Loves ... so far. So I decide not to chance it going up overnight and go fuel after we've checked into the motel.


Supper is at Wendy's. No one in line today. Last time we were here there was a long line because the manager would only let the cashier have two unfilled orders ... so everyone had to wait until one order was filled before he could take the next order. Not sure how long that manger lasted.


No big planning chats today.


Tomorrow is our longest day, 550 plus miles with 10 hours daylight, plus fuel and food stops. And no stops across the last 100 miles of UT ... the salt flats.
