Up and eating breakfast by 6 am. When we were looking at the breakfast items, BB noticed the eggs had cheese in them and made a comment about it. The help offered to make her one without cheese, but it would take 10 minutes so she passed. There were also hard boiled eggs if she really wanted eggs. Good breakfasts so far this trip. No bad juice. Today's motel had four types of yogurt but yogurt was yesterday.

We are rolling before the sunrise, partly because it is early, partly because we are on the west side of a mountain at the base. Before too long down the highway I can see the red sunrise in my mirror. Always interesting crossing the salt flats. Today's question on my mind is ... do they know what year all the salt will be mined out of the lake?

1st stop is in West Wendover. We checked GasBuddy for fuel prices and the station in Wendover where we buy cheap diesel has gas for $.40 more than what we can buy it for in West Wendover. We stop at Pilot and BB gets her three cents off, for some reason my didn't work so I didn't get my <> $1 discount. No long handled window washers on the gas islands but I reached as far as I could get. It did help.

Lots of cops on the road today, busy and not busy. We also had to drive thru the inspection area but we didn't have to stop.

Next stop was at a Maverick in Elko. Next time we will stop at the Sinclair if we remember. It looks like it has a lot more room to park. It should, it is listed as a truck stop. This was just a restroom break.

BB was wondering if we would get to Battle Mountain before the Port O' Subs opened. Nope, the open for breakfast and it was just about 11 AM. I had some kind of chicken sandwich without lettuce.

Next stop would be BB's final fuel stop. Shell has been the lowest price in town so we headed there. Once there she noticed a sign on the door that said 'closed until further notice.' So we went a half mile back to fuel at the Flying J. When we left we drove past the Shell again and there were four cars there. It looked like maybe the pumps were still turned on ???

Somewhere today we saw a semi tractor on the shoulder that was completely burnt to the ground and half the trailer was too. Red cones around it, but no other action around that one. Hours later we saw another half burnt out trailer in the center median. This one no longer had a tractor with it so I can't know if that was burnt also, but by the way the trailer was burnt it was looked just like the prior one. This trailer was being unloaded, whatever hadn't been burnt.

A quick restroom stop in Loveloch at the Golden something. It is our routine stop.

Then 110 miles to Verdi. Today we are coming in before rush hour and again before sunset. We see the tents set up downtown for their Rib Fest. Seems we were here last year the same weekend.

Best Western in Verdi for the night. BB had checked the price when we were in Loveloch and it was over $100. On one trip it had gone down by the time we got to Verdi, so we waited. This time the price did not go down, or up.

Food was at Mel's Diner. I had their version of a patty melt and BB had a burger. The buffet is only open Th-Sun. After looking closely at the layout of the buffet I finally did remember eating there once. Not sure when it was.

Not free breakfast here, so we will be up at 4 am (local) so we have time to eat breakfast. Not sure our rush, we should deliver by noon and then it is only an hour down to the bus when it is not rush hour.

Not sure what we will do to kill the hours between runs. We do have a car reserved.

Tomorrow we will know if we get a trip back east or a rental car. And if a trip, will it be to Burnsville, Dallas or Miami?

We have plans to be home by Saturday the 8th and then staying home through the Safety meeting on the 13th.
