2 RV's to Freemont CA

... spending the night at Laramie WY

Alarm at 6 AM

Breakfast was ... interesting. The only hot food was gravy. Their main fridge only had butter in it, the milk and yogurt was in a larger, temp fridge that didn't seem to be much cooler than room temp. I had one yogurt and BB had cold cereal.

When we got to leave we see another RV from our same shipper but didn't see the driver. We also saw the travel trailer hauler that we talked to last night. He is planning on getting to Rock Springs tonight, about 200 miles further than we are so he will max out his hours AND be driving over 65 mph. Speed limit is up to 80 so I'm guessing it can be done legally.

1st stop is for fuel at the Petro in York. This RV has the large fuel neck so I can fuel with the big rigs I just don't like to.

2nd stop is a rest area near Kearney.

3rd stop is for lunch in North Platte at the Penny's Diner. We had about the same thing we had last night. Breakfast. More of it and much better.

4th stop for BB is the Walmart in Ogallala for fuel. I keep going.

When I fueled in York this AM had about 5 miles to spare for making it to Sidney, by the time I got to Ogallala I had 40 miles to spare and when I did get to Sidney I had 60 miles to spare. Mileage is going up today.

Back yesterday in IA the ditches were full of water and some fields were flooded. In Nebraska where it hailed it looks like most of the re-plant is doing OK.

But west where it was the heat that hurt the crops are still looking bad. One field I could see the ground in places, other places the corn was knee high and burnt. A lot of fields have huge area's that are dried up/burnt up and other parts of the field are green. One place it looked like the farmer had swathed the corn and was going to chop it like hay.

And it looks like the farmers are cutting anything that is/was green for hay.

4th stop for me is Loves in Sidney for fuel. I fuel with the big rigs so I don't have to go in to get the pump turned on. Then their pump screen wasn't working so I had to go any in anyways. By the time I was done fueling and pulled around to the car area, BB was there and getting out of her RV.

We make our hotel reservations for here as the cell service at the POE is very bad.

As we are about to leave, two more RV's pull in to fuel. We don't stop to talk.

5th stop is the Port of Entry for permits. Quick in and out.

6th stop is the Sinclair in Laramie for fuel for both of us. It is cheaper here than at the truckstop with a discount.

At noon we had looked at stopping in Gothenburg at the Nebraska Barn & Grill but they are closed Monday's. Now we are in Laramie and we wanted to try Maria's ... and they are closed on Monday's.

So we end up back at Papa John's for pizza. And today they have lots of them. One meat each. I ask them to covert one to a Hawaiian pizza but they say they can not. They do not have pineapple, or olives, or ...

Then the person tells us that most fast food places no longer carrier olives because of food poisoning. Good story ... but I can not find anything online that confirms that story.

We end up with one personal pan pizza and split it.

Later we go for a walk. In a field I see some of the same equipment I thought I had taken a picture of a month ago (But I can't find the prior picture.) Interesting because a lot of farmers stick with one brand. This person didn't have two of the same brand. There is less sitting here now than I remember but still no two the same brand.

We did see one bus today heading to NY.

Left a message with the CA bus dispatcher because he did not pick up. Since then I have been in contact with two other drivers. One just said I'd be going to a hotel. The other driver has been in a hotel since Wednesday waiting. Not sure he is willing to pay me to sit.
