We had thought of getting going by 6:30, then decided that would just put us into rush hour traffic and cost us time. So we got going an hour later and hit almost no traffic delays.


Breakfast was real eggs, but for me it was yogurt. I commented to the desk clerk when I was checking out about the food. She said they had tried lots of pre-made food items and some were pretty awful.


Lots of produce being harvested already, onions, tomatoes. Never had seen onions in gunny sacks before. Rows of them stacked with only room enough for the tractor to run between the rows.


Speed limit in CA is 65, 55 for anything towing a trailer. I'm doing 65 and still the trailers go flying past me.


First break was at a Flying J in Lodi, quick on and off.


Second break was near Truckee at Donners Pass. We took a half hour there so I would not have to log it as time working. (the games we play, but still stay legal) Call for my permit, luckily they were able to get it to me before we got to NV as we were only a half hour from the border. Also made tonight's motel reservation. No discounts tonight ... it's Labor Day Weekend.


Got the permit 10 minutes before the border. Just past the border the inspection station was open, but they were busy with others.


Next stop was Denny's in Fernly for lunch. Another chicken philly for me and a club sandwich for BB. I asked today, this Flying J has been open for four years. I thought it had been a different restaurant before Denny's but they said no.


Another two hours and we were in Winnemucca for the night, Quality Inn. They have a nice big parking lot, never have to worry about room. We walked again tonight, we also had walked on Wednesday night. Tonight was walking around the cemetery. It looks like there are a number of cemeteries all next to each other. Online they only show as the Winnemucca Cemetery, but I also saw signs for Knights of Pythias, FOE, F&AM and IOOF. Lots of interesting stones ... and a half hour walk.


When we were done walking we stopped at The Pig for food. This time we split a pulled pork sandwich and each got a side. Good food and not too much.


Not gaining much time. Gained 15 minutes today but that is not enough to make delivery Tuesday. Tomorrow I will need to stop and get a WY permit so that will take an extra 15 minutes ... or more if they are backed up like they were this week on the way west.


No traffic issues, just lots of cops. Likely getting ready for this weekend.


Bus wasn't full of fuel this time and that is likely $50-$100 more that I will have to put in the tank. Put in over $300 this fill, and we are no longer in CA where it was even higher.
