2 RVs to 1,000 Oaks CA (delivered)

... spending the night at West Valley City UT

Up at 4:30 (?) local ... 6:30 home time. So we shouldn't have much problem re-adjusting when we do get home.

Breakfast was left overs. Still good. Mine did have a couple of small pieces of tin foil in it :(

After we were up a bit, we were looking at the load board and there was a truck from Salt Lake City to Appleton WI. I called and was told I was the 3rd person in line. The first person was still checking on things. I never heard back so one of the first two drivers got it.

Nothing else good on the load board today. BB looked every few minutes.

We pull out about 6:30 local, after finding out that we can park trucks over by the Days Inn, both hotels are owned by the same company. They have a nice large truck lot. I did park there once 10+ years ago.

Almost no slow down this AM even in <> morning rush hour traffic.

First stop is the Donner's Pass rest area. Snow is finally gone

Gas gets cheaper as we head east. By Fernley we need fuel so we stop at Loves. Could have only put in enough to get to the next cheap fuel but that all takes time.

Our third stop is the Port O Subs in Winnemucca for lunch to go.

Fourth stop is only another hour down the road but it has the cheapest fuel until we get to WY ... and we don't have enough fuel to get there. It's a Shell in Battle Mountain. Cheap gas, cheap diesel but I'm not sure how 'fresh' their diesel is so I haven't stopped there for that.

We are off on our stops today, next stop is Wells at the Flying J for the rest room.

Then we had planned on stopping at the rest area near Aragonite NV but it was closed. Nothing else close so we keep going.

Sometime today, BB and I were talking about how far we were going to drive today. I had said Salt Lake City as the furthest. BB didn't want to go that far so she was going to look up the hotel prices and see how much we would save by staying in Wendover.

:) :)

We often pay about $75 in Wendover. $240 for the same room tonight. We don't often stay at the Best Western but they their rooms were $320. Some bonneville salt flats event this weekend. We could have stayed in Elko but we would have been to the hotel by 1:30.

Our usual hotel in Tooele was $150 tonight, we ended up finding one for about $100 with OK (?) reviews.

Before going to the hotel, we stop at a In-n-Out Burger place a few blocks from the hotel. A zoo. We find a place to park in a nearby customer and walk. ?? The place is not crowded inside, we got an inside table for the first time in months. Within a few minutes the drive thru line was no longer on the the street. Timing.

We eat at the restaurant and then head to the Sleep Inn. All's good. No issues.

Watched the load board all day today. Tomorrow dispatch is only there until noon. Nothing interesting so it would have to be something new.

Not sure what is going on with me. When I get out of this car after a couple of hours it is like me trying to stand up after sitting in the garden two hours. I move like an old man. This is the first time I remember driving bothering me like this.

As of now, we will likely be in Cheyenee or Sidney tomorrow/Sat night. Then Des Moines Sunday night and home some time on Monday. Unless there is work on Monday, we still have the rental car until Wednesday.

If no work, I may get my DOT taken care of early in the week next week to have it done.
