2 RV's to Davis CA

... spending the night at Rock Springs WY

CHOKE Choke choke. Both of us woke up sometime after 10 PM to the very strong smell of cigarette smoke. I remember smelling my pillow to see if that was where it was coming from. This AM when I mentioned it to the front desk, they said they had smelled it when they delivered the bills under the doors during the night. Likely someone smoking in the stairwell where there are no camera's ...

Breakfast was leftovers again.

There is a shuttle bus in transit that came in after we did last night, heading to Seattle. But we never did see the driver.

1st stop is the scale house in WY. A couple of transporters are just leaving. Quick in and out.

Uggg ... as we are leaving Cheyenne, there is on the side of the road, standing on the top step of his truck in just his boxers, relieving himself into traffic.

On the more amusing side, near there there was a moving van that must had had a platform past the door. And it was stacked full of boxes, totes and whatever else all the way to the top of the truck. And all strapped in. I didn't realize what it was right away or I might have gotten a picture of that one.

Just past Cheyenne there a mom n pop truckstop. It had been closed for a while and now open for a while. Now they have just put up all new truck islands. Not all of them are biting the dust.

2nd stop was the Sinclair station in Laramie for gas.

3rd stop was at the TA/Subway for lunch. One of the guys making sandwiches reminded me of Forrest Gump. The guy just continued talking to the next person in line, and the next, and the next. Each person just hearing part of his story.

Winds were gusting to 40+. But the driving wasn't bad. Mileage dropped from 11 mpg down to 10.9. But still hasn't gotten up to the 15 we are hoping for.

4th and final stop is at the Clarion in Rock Springs. The 1st thing I do is call the drop and let them know we will be there on Monday. Next I call west coast dispatch, all he says this time is 'you know my number, call again Monday.'

It isn't quite 3 PM local but we check in. Then go for a walk ... and before we are back BB's leg is bothering her again.

Closer to 5 PM we call down to in house restaurant. BB looked at an online menu and wanted fish. They do not have fish, so I hung up and we walked down and looked at the current menu. We ordered, walked back to the room and 10 minutes later our food was ready.

Tomorrow we do a few more miles. We will need a permit for NV, that might be the excitement for tomorrow.

70 RV trips gone off the load board since yesterday. And there were lots of interesting auction moves that came and went.
