2 RV's, 1 to Reno NV, 1 to Manteca CA

... spending the night at Rawlins WY

No alarm, but of us were up just before it would have gone off.

Breakfast is in the restaurant that isn't open at the moment. Buffet style. Not a lot of choices but lots of what there is. Today was eggs and sausage and OJ.

Not quite sunup when we got going. Clear to the east for the daylight but foggy as soon as we got on the freeway heading west.

1st stop is Cozad for fuel at Caseys (because BB shorted herself yesterday) She adds fuel, I don't. I still have an excess range of 40 miles. When BB is coming out of the store and walking across the lot, a large semi is coming through the car area and blows it's horn. BB tried to run, that doesn't work too well yet. My guess is someone had put their car in reverse is why he blew his horn.

2nd stop is Ogallala for fuel at WalMart. Over $1 between high and low fuel prices at this exit. This will be the cheapest fuel of the trip.

Good news. My Mom seems to be better today, back up and around as much as she does any day. Hopefully that was it for her and Covid.

Because we just crossed the time zone it is even 10 AM here so too early for lunch.

3rd stop is Loves in Sidney for Taco Johns. I tried their street taco today. I didn't think it was that good ... until I tried their regular taco's. :( BB wasn't happy with their food either. I don't remember it being this bad in the past.

The temp was 65 degrees when we left, but there were still snow piles in the corners of the parking lot. Not sure when it was from.

There is another RV driveaway driver in the parking lot but we don't talk to him. We also have passed a UPS truck in transit, seen an Amazon truck and met a few other driveaway units today including two city buses. The first was all white. The second was white and blue and had the word 'Metro' on it. That doesn't help much.

Coming into WY, the overhead highway signs are warning of 'Wind gusts 65+ mph' starting at 6 PM tonight. We plan to be off the road by 4:30. Later, further in, there are signs warning of winds 30+ right now. My cruise kicked off three times before shutting down. But with these Dodge's, it is just a matter of hitting resume. On the Mercedes, the unit has to be restarted to be able to re-set the cruise.

4th stop was the POE for our permits near Burns. Easy when you have everything ready. At times I could see the RV ahead of us on the freeway but not at the POE. Either he didn't need to stop or he just didn't.

Also saw two trucks with the same name as my local company. So I took a picture, but didn't look at the picture then. It didn't turn out.

... OPPS !!!

Almost a very big opps, coming through Cheyenne I saw two trucks right ahead of me switching lanes so I glanced at my mirror and switched ....

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Someone was in my blind spot and I had not looked over my shoulder. The other person hit the shoulder to avoid me. Luckily there was a shoulder between the road and the guard cable.

5th stop was the Sinclear in Laramie for fuel.

Called the bus dispatcher and said who I was ... 'You picked the right day to call.' So I had to tell him I wouldn't be there until Monday. 'We will see you Monday then.' So I'm guessing there is and will be work.

6th and final stop was the Comfort Inn in Rawlins. Penny's Diner was our food. the only non-fast food on the this end of town. Food was OK, actually the Philly was really good but

... the forgot our French dressing for the salads, the gave me both fries and salad instead of just a salad, salad had lettuce and two pieces of tomato and was called a 'garden salad.'

Don't know our plan for the rest of the trip yet. Our NV permits are only for one day so we need to plan around that.
