Spent last week running the west coast from San Diego up to Spokane and back down again. We crossed off the last two states in the lower 48, now we've been to them all!
Rain, snow and heavy winds have been our constant companions....you would think we were back in Michigan! What happened to the California sunshine? Actually they need the rain and mountain snow very badly so can't complain too much.
Now we just need a load to go back east! Please?!??!!!!
Hanging out on the west coast this last week! We got to stop in and see some family and kept working all at the same time. Rotten weather with storm advisories, and high winds. Hoping to get back east sometime soon!
This here state is green....right? I mean save the plant right? Drive electric cars? Don't litter? Use bamboo flooring?
Know how they get all...and I mean alllll of that crap?
By a big old diesel burning semi truck that they dont allow in their rest areas and only provide a hand full of truck stops to accommodate the people who bring them their electric cars and whole foods!
Irony - "the use of words to convey a meaning that is opposite of its literal meaning" (see California)
So there I am, traveling through the great Rockie Mountains.....on one particular downgrade I see a few fellow drivers pulled over and said to Dennis, "What? Are they sight seeing?" Then I see one trailer's brakes smoking and I'm not sure I actually made fun of them, but I wasn't compassionate.
Yeah, you guesses it....a little while later, on another downgrade I look in my mirror and sure enough, the back end of the truck is smoking like a brush fire! Talk about freaking out on the side of a mountain!
But we endured and we're fine, just a little to much brake .....I think there's a lesson in there somewhere!
Had some minor repairs done to the truck yesterday and enjoyed the beautiful day, suppose to be warm again today. Had offer to go to Saskatchewan yesterday to Detroit....maybe if it was summer...you Michiganders have too much snow! Think I'll go take a look at the Rockies this morning!
Dennis and I just finished our 1800 mile drive to Denver, now we get a brief breather. That is one heck of a drive, I can't imagine going coast to coast all at once! We've been through Kansas several times in the last couple of weeks and I've got to say the place is growing on me....no wonder Dorothy wanted to go home! It's actually a vastly pretty state and makes me want to see a little more of South Dakota too!
