2 RVs, heading to Reno NV

... spending the night at Albert Lea MN


Lazy AM doing mostly nothing other than a few odds and ends. We get going some time after 2 PM.


1st stop is in Faribault for a case of water, but Walmart didn't have most of the other food that BB wanted.


2nd stop was the rest area near Owatonna. BB was trying to book our usual motel and there were no rooms. No rooms on a Sunday night when people are supposed to be staying home. So I called "... we will be re-opening on January 4th ..."


So we end up making reservations at the Quality Inn in the same town. It is one of those motels that have been split into two motels. Quality Inn in the front of the building, Econo Lodge in the back of the same building. And food :)


3rd stop at the Quality Inn in Albert Lea. The restaurant is closed. Recently. All the signs still say open. It closed because 'the cook left and they may not re-open.'


So we drive down to down town and get our usual Erbert and Gerbert's. But their sandwiches either are <> a foot long or a half a sandwich with soup. I got the soup.


We get back to the motel and turn on the Weather Channel. Wind in WY. Today I-80 was closed to 'high profile vehicles.' I was going to write down the speeds the next time they flashed up. They didn't. But I think the winds were 80 mph+ and are supposed to be back on Tuesday.


At this point we are going to get as far as we can tomorrow. Then we will see what the weather forecast is for Tuesday. Might be a short day on Tuesday. Getting delayed a day isn't a problem. Getting delayed two days means spending the weekend somewhere and our income goes down.


Plan is to get to the office shortly after they open. Breakfast is a check off list, they will bag it, we will eat in the car.
