Not a big rush to get going this AM. We only have 500 miles to go today.

I have to scrape frost for the 2nd morning in a row, BB has not had to either morning. We did drive 60 mph for the first two hours as we thought it might be a bit windy. That kept the rpm's down to 2,100.

First stop was Rawlin's at a Flying J. Easy in and out, but when we went to get back on a semi that had pulled into the left lane to let me on decided to come back over on me. I had to hit the shoulder. No other traffic, no reason for him to do that. Then a mile or so later he has half his truck on the shoulder of the road before getting back in his lane. We both passed him very carefully.

Doesn't happen often, but today I saw another semi make a u-turn on the freeway. He had a rented trailer and I was too far away to see the name on the cab.

Still look for the huge digger east of Rock Springs. Couldn't see it anywhere anymore. This might be the first time I haven't at least seen the boom.

Past Rock Springs we stop at Green River at Penny's Diner. Food was good, I had a philly and BB had a BLT. Penny's Diner's seemed like they were only adjacent to Oak Tree Inns. Now the Oak Tree Inn is a Baymont here, and something else in Grand Island, NE but that Penny's is still open also. I was going to ask the help here what might happen to the Diner but as soon as they handed me my receipt they were gone.

Did make a few phone calls. I should be getting paid the same as BB for fuel so that is an extra $200. Dispatch called and changed our drop, five miles closer, nothing else changes. Called the drop and the same guy will be checking us in, starting Thursday at the new location.

Not sure why but chains are required already in the pass, weather doesn't look bad yet. NV permit is only good for 24 hours so we need to be out of the state by 6 AM Thursday. Plan is to get over the pass Wednesday night if we can. Chains are required starting at MM 63 in NV. There is nothing there. The last town before is about exit 100 and after is Fernley is exit 46. And there is almost nothing at exit 100, one ma-pa motel.

Noticed that fuel in Evanston was only $2.10 but it wasn't our planned stop. Instead we stopped at a rest area about a half hour past in Echo. That's where we looked at fuel prices. Our Flying J is $.20+ more than a Maverick a few miles closer. We stop at the Maverick, not an easy place to get in and out of. Neither was our first fuel in Larami this AM. I had to back up a couple of times to get away from the fuel pump and turned. This place would have been tight too, if it had been more crowded.

Had a little truck pass us a couple of times today, second time I saw that it was being transported, by Amerifleet, our former company.

Almost into Salt Lake City a car passes me on the left, cuts in front of me to take the exit only to change his mind and pull back in behind me. Shortly after, he passes me again and pulls in front of me, just as everyone in that lane is hitting their brakes. I get in the left lane and go flying past everyone. Not to far after he passes me again, flying the bird. At first I thought it was just me but then saw it was to everyone he passed ... guess it was just a bird day for him.

Last leg is 120 mile so flat. We get to Wendover about 6 PM local. Check in at a Quality Inn and walk to the casino for a buffet. Didn't need a buffet, it was only an hour ago that I stopped feeling stuffed. Good food.

Spent most of an hour trying to get the internet to work, the front desk insisted it was working fine that all of their computers were working fine ... until they tried to bring up a screen for me. Then they restarted their server/? and it was working within minutes. We are in motels over half the time. We know how to log in.

Once we know if we get past the pass, I will call and see if there are any buses heading east ...
