2 RV's to Drapper UT

... spending the night at Sidney NE

Breakfast, just yogurt and a hard boiled egg for me today.

This morning ...

"Oh, you are going to shave this AM" ... as she grabs the razor and walks away and packs it up.

... I had to explain to her what she said, and what she did ...

It is raining when we do our inspections, but pretty much done by the time I come back out after getting my receipt. We are heading out on time.

We had really bad fuel mileage yesterday so we decided to add a stop that we normally we wouldn't do. Loves in Shelby. We are good on fuel, we are gaining range again.

2nd stop was the Loves in Omaha for fuel. I didn't keep track of fuel mileage for the first tankful.

3rd stop was in Grand Island for food at Arby's. BB gave me some of her 'candied bacon,' plus I had a french dip and cheese sticks. Too much.

Birds - today we did see sand cranes. 1,000's of them, no I did not count them. I counted 10 and guessed how may 100 would be and then took a guess. From mile marker 290 down to 277. They do flock together, in most places if there was 1 there was 1,000+. A couple of places there were also some in the air. They do not fly or circle like geese. There were also some in pastures. In pastures they were not as close together as they were in corn fields or in the water.

Also saw what I will call white geese. Only on one sand pit and pond. They looked like the moth's when they die on the water. Thick.

4th stop was for fuel in North Platte at Loves. By now I had gotten paid again so there will be no usage fee on my fuel card. I have been paid for my last RV trip. I had called this AM from the first fuel stop but was put on hold until we were ready to go. So that is one call I will not need to make.

But I do call the bus dispatcher from here. He says to call back tomorrow. This time I do not want to head there unless we know there will be work. Depending on which way we go it will be 700-900 miles away from home. Last I heard, Donner's Pass was open to cars with chains. No trucks yet.

5th and final stop is the Comfort Inn in Sidney. We did have enough daylight to get to Cheyenne but this is our 500 miles.

We walk across the freeway to a Mexican place for food. Chip dip is too spicy for either of us. I get a cheese dip for my meal instead of a red or green sauce.

Load board

US - 163

IA - 31/28

MN - 1

WI - 4

Most likely Evanston tomorrow night. That will leave an hour and a half in the AM and they do not open until 9 AM.

We will likely get going early to beat the winds. Winds are supposed to be 40+ if we get a late start.
