Pulled out of Sidney just as the sun was coming up.

1st stop was the POE (Port of Entry) to get our Wyoming trip permit.

2nd stop was Larami, WY for fuel. Just a little station with no bathroom or convenience store, but gas for $.20 less than across the street and $.40 less than the closest truck stop.

3rd stop is the TA in Rawlin's, WY. This is one of the few TA's that still has a hot food buffet, most only have a soup and salad buffet and some don't have any buffet and others don't even have a Country Pride.

4th stop was in Rock Springs at the Flying J, not much for rest stops out here so this was it.

5th stop just past exit 21 ... it is partway up a long hill and the trucks are jockeying for position so I lost track of BB for a while. Heading down the other side, the phone rings. Lucky I am right near an exit. It is BB, she has broken down. Ahhh and now I notice my fuel level has dropped, and my range is only 50 miles. I drive 55 back to where she is parked on the side of the road.

Exit 21 is a ranch exit with a culvert for an underpass. The sign says Clearance 13' 2," I double check my paperwork before heading in.

The RV had lost power when going up the hill and she was barely able to get to the side of the road before in coasted to a stop. Luckily it was still where there was the entrance ramp so that there was a one lane buffer between us and the traffic. The paved 'shoulder' was only a couple of feet wide at that point so we were mostly in the dirt.

She took care of making all the calls. At one point she was told that it would be tomorrow before they could get us towed off the freeway ... BB told them to keep looking. We sat on the side of the road for six hours. No food, no bathroom ... no WiFi.

The highway patrol did stop a couple of times. We asked and he said "if the can't get a tow truck, we will, they don't often say no to us."

Over a 14 hour day and now we don't get paid for the last almost 700 miles on that RV but we still have the costs.

That is a big downside with this company, we only get paid for miles driven. Break downs are part of the risk we take. If you break down you may already have a $100 flight home from FL and instead you only get paid half the miles, loose the flight and pay $500 to get home from a little town in TN.

6th stop was Flying J in Evanston. I was down under 25 mile range in fuel (that is when it stops showing range) and we needed to eat. Subway was about the only thing open. The Quality Inn was next door. Fuel prices had already started going up.

We would try to sleep in.
