Late leaving this AM ... so a short day with sunset before 5 pm.


First call at 6 am local was to dispatch on the east coast about a run on the west coast. Turns out everything out of that location is used, so I passed for then and it was gone shortly after that.


Next call was for permits right at 7:30, I had to leave my number my contact was busy. I call back at 8:30, she is still busy. Finally just before 9:30 she calls ... as she talks she lets slip that some people have her direct number. Seems like I might have been one of the first people to call in but about 10th that she got to. Almost another hour before we get our permits emailed to us.


I stopped just a couple of miles before we shut down for the night but BB is ready to stop for fuel in Wells just an hour down the road at the Flying J.


Then we get two hours in before I need fuel again, I'm not down to empty but fuel is far between out here. Because of how late we got going, we are ready to eat by the time we get here. First we stop at Flying J for a Blimpies, but it's gone. So we have to drive into town to Port O Subs.Medium is too much food. Then we stop for fuel at a Shell. We are finally using up our $$$ from motel rewards points.


Another hour down the road we stop at the Flying J in Winnemucca. This is, or should be, the last fuel stop for BB. While we are stopped I notice my RV smells like something is burning. Neither of us can find anything so we hit the highway. But I pack up my bag and put my phone in my pocket ... just in case.


One more hour down the road we stop for my last fuel stop in Lovelock. We have found it easier to figure out our range and top off the tank, rather than adding a few gallons to a partial tank.


Somewhere near Rye Patch, there is a middle aged gal walking along the highway. It didn't look like she was dressed for a walk and about two miles down the road was a car. Long walk but lucky there was anything that close. The fuel station is still open but they took down their Chevron sign a few months ago.


Another place along the highway I noticed a semi on the frontage road. He may still be there ... The road he was on had narrowed between the freeway and the mountain and then went under the freeway, with a one lane culvert. The only way he could get that thing through one of those is if he was 100% straight before going in and there was not enough room. So he would be backing that trailer a mile or two down the road to a place he could turn around.


Coming into Reno was fun ... right at rush hour with the sun right on the horizon.


Instead of being a couple of blocks from delivery we are a couple of hours. So we've had to change rental car, etc.


We ended up at the Best Western in Verdi, Mels Diner was the meal.


No hard plans for tomorrow yet. I will likely call company #1 before we head home ... and keep watching the other board for work but everything has gotten slow since the first.
