Up before the alarm as we are on most days. Especially when we are in the western time zones.

Bacon was thin, but full of flavor. Eggs were real, juice machine was broken so it was in pictures instead.

Waited until 7:30 local so we could call for permits before leaving the motel. Did not have my ducks in a row this AM, thought I was all ready before dialing but Opps. Got it corrected before the call was over but more work for them.

Know this route well, know which corners to slow for, which not to. Looks like they had lots of new snow maybe two days ago.

1st stop is past SLC at Tooele at the Flying J. Two other Winnie's sitting there when we pulled in. Someone sitting in one when we came out so I talked to them. They had our 2nd choice of RV's. They get to deliver AT 10 AM on Sunday morning to a Winnie Rep at a racetrack. ??? I'm thinking we got the better deal.

Water across the flats is down a little. Still takes just as long to get across.

Stopped at the Pilot in West Wendover and my discount card doesn't work again. I talked to someone inside that said I now had to have the app on my phone for it to work ... and the clerks were all wearing new T-shirts that said as much. :(

... I don't plan on putting that or any other app on my phone.

It was meal time so we ate at the adjacent Arby's. Three cheese sandwich.

After we ate, I called the drop. Lucky I was ready as they asked for VIN's and appointment times. We are set for 10:30 and 11:30. We'll have to remember that, at that rate they only do 8 a day. Good to know. After setting that up I called the CA dispatcher and said I'd be in town on Monday, he just said to give him a call after delivery.

Our permit was for 11 AM, we crossed the time zone at 11:30 so pretty close.

Really, not much for excitement today. Mostly clear, not much for traffic, no other transporters other than at Tooele.

Stopped at the new Sinclair / Golden Gate Truckstop in Elko for break.

Fueled again when we got to Winnemucca at Flying J. Here my discount worked again. A few blocks down the road we are at the Quality Inn. Using rewards for tonight's stay. Price is double what we usually pay. Guy ahead of us was using the CLC had paid about 1/2 the listed. So maybe it would be still good to have. I got rid of mine a few years ago. Looks like the place is going to be full tonight, sounds like a bus load of people coming in later. Clerks had the paperwork all ready for them. BB looked and later this week prices will be triple what we usually pay. We may be finding a new town to stay in.

We picked here for tonight because there are storms coming in to the NV passes and they are already checking trucks for chains in Donners Pass.

We did about 450 miles today and the final 450 tomorrow, then Sunday off.

Walked across the street to the Pig. I had a Cuban and BB had a grilled chicken. Good as always.

Ahhh ... yesterday I had three pictures I wished I had taken while driving, but I could not remember the 3rd. The train. There was a train with 50-100 cars all hauling windmill blades. Two blades to each three cars ... for miles.

Already have the next two days planned out if we don't get held up by weather.
