2 RV's to Morgan Hill CA

... spending the night at Rocklin CA


Breakfast - Eggs and yogurt. There was hash browns but I didn't have any.


We were up at our usual time so we were done with breakfast before we could call for our permits. We called, and now we wait to get them. The permit is only for 24 hours so we do not like to order them ahead of time. Friday we thought we may still be having issues with the wind. Thursday we even told dispatch that we may not be able to make delivery on Tuesday because of the weather ...


A trash truck from NV to MN that we had looked at is gone. But I do see there is a truck in OR going to MD. 2,600 miles ... 600 miles from our drop and ?? to the closest rental car return. It is in the middle of no where up by Bend which is in the middle of no where.


After an hour we get our permits ... mine is wrong so I call the company but get someone else. After they finally understand that I was sent someone else's permit, not mine permit done wrong, they re-take down my info. Within a few minutes I get 'my' permit but it is wrong also, before I can call them they are calling me ... they know it is wrong. This permit is for a bus I moved months ago, the buses have a unique VIN so both they and I know that it was from a bus.


Finally two hours from my first call I have my correct permit, now we can leave.


When I go to check out the person asks if everything was good. I said yes and so is the food truck food. "Yah, I know. I have looked online and they are getting better reviews than we are." :)


We pull out at 10:30 central time.


Early on today I re-set trip B ... as we start down a hill. 63 mpg, then 99 mpg. After that it kept going down. On today's trip the mileage stayed between 19-20 mpg. Not sure what my total trip mpg, 16 mpg maybe?


1st stop is the now One9, former Pilot, in Carlin for fuel. This will be the last fuel we buy that is under the national average. Because we are running so late we decide to eat here also. Subway.


And before we leave I call the drop. They would like to see us at 8 AM, I said that was not going to happen so we will be there at 1 PM. Both of us, so that changes how we are going to work getting our rental car.


2nd stop is at the Loves in Winnemucca for a break.


3rd stop is for 'final?' fuel at the Flying J in Fernley. We do the math at 15 mpg for the extra gallons even though we have been getting up to 20 mpg.


4th stop is at the rest area in Gold Run.


5th and final stop is the Comfort Inn in Rocklin. It has been a long day. We walk across the parking lot to Arby's for food. We often walk to Sourdough for sandwiches but they closed an hour before we got here.
