2 RVs, heading to Reno NV

... spending the night at Cheyenne WY

Short day.

BB has leftovers from last night so I go down and get 'breakfast in a bag.' 1 muffin, one nuke sandwich and a bottle of water. At a $$$ motel.

We pull out at 7:30 AM right at sun up.

1st stop is less than an hour down the road at the Cozad rest area.

2nd stop is at the Ogallala Walmart for fuel. Gas is $.06 cheaper if we pay cash at the Big Dog. Or $.25 more at the Cenex. I think this was a first. No one else at the Walmart fuel pumps.

3rd stop is at the Love's Taco Johns (for me) for food. BB gets shelf food, raw vegies, fruit and hummus with crackers.

When I walk in, someone says 'Hi.' And I reply. As I am in the restroom, I am wondering if he works for the same company. I go back to the cashier where he still is and ask if we know each other. 'No, I just say hi to everyone.' But then we do start talking, I excuse myself to pay for BB's food and I go to Taco John's. As I am leaving he starts talking to me again. I have to excuse myself again.

4th stop in near Burns WY at the POE. Just before the POE we see an overhead sign that says 'Expect cross winds 65+.' BB is distracted inside of the POE so we are there a little longer and I see the road conditions scrolling. 'CLOSED.' I-80 just closed between Laramie and Rawlins.

We had talked about shutting down in either Laramie or Cheyenne but hadn't made any reservations yet. Now we decide. Driving to Laramie isn't going to gain us anything and we will be driving into the storm. We won't be able make delivery until Friday.

5th stop is at the Comfort Inn in Cheyenne. It is 2 PM.

Later we drive to a place called 'The Philly Shop.' I say I am there to pick up an order. 'Jim?' 1st I wonder if I am their only customer? Then I see all the other orders waiting for pickup. And someone walks in and everyone says 'Hi George.' No, I am not their only customer, I am just the only customer they don't know by name.

Both of our phones are going off with alarms. Snow squall warning. It took me a long time, but I finally got all of my alarms shut off. I hope.

Last night I spent way too long trying to get the Scotch tape off of my placards. This AM I remember that I have a second set of placards that are clean. So mostly a waste of time.

4 of the IA trips are not RV's.

I am posting a picture a day on FB. At times I am wondering how I will come up with a picture, and other times I am wondering how to pick just one.

Winds are supposed to be less the rest of the week. We should get to SLC tomorrow and then at or close to Reno Thursday.
