2 RV's to Gilroy CA
... spending the night at Rocklin CA
We are up at our usual time, but based on local. We can't call for our NV permit until 7:30.
We do call at 7:30 and someone picks up right away. Good sign. In the past we have gotten our permits within 15 minutes.
... an hour later I call back ... I am 'next on the list' ... ??? I had to be close to the first call they took this AM. What list?
It was another half hour before I got my permit but BB's did not come. We waited another half hour and I called back. I got someone else and they were able to find BB's permit and (re?) sent it. Almost three hours from the time we called until we left the hotel. So much for this being a short day. Good thing we only have 500 miles today.
1st stop is our usual Elko at the Sinclar. Because we are so late we eat here at Port of Subs. Good food, good bread. But first I called the drop and set up appointments for delivery for tomorrow at 1 and 2 PM. Everything was good, bread was fresh. But everything takes time and I don't have time to eat my whole sandwich before our half hour is up.
2nd stop is the Pilot in Winnemucca for fuel. Today is the last day of $.10 off per gallon. It all helps.
3rd stop is the Flying J in Fernley for final fuel if we need it. We don't, so this is a restroom stop.
... Whoa ...
Traffic is stopped just west of Fernley. We sit in traffic for an hour while an accident is cleared. We had made a reservation while in Fernley so we were going to do the last 150 miles non-stop to have less dark driving. :(
4th stop is now Donners Pass rest area. It is already dark and we have another hour plus to go.
5th and final stop is the Comfort Inn in Rocklin. It is 9:30 PM home time, we try to be off the road by 5:30. Another long day.
As soon as we check in, we walk next door to Arbey's. From the time we get to the hotel to lights off is about an hour. It's past our bedtime. (this is being written up the next AM instead of the usual evening write up)
Load board
US - 167
IA - 12
Tomorrow we have 150 miles to go, stash one RV, pickup the rental car and then BB will stash the rental car and pick up her RV. One of us will walk back to the the rental car.
Then we call the bus dispatcher and see what happens next.
So far, Tuesday AM, there is no snow so we pushed for nothing. The odds we play.
