Ahhh it is so nice to be back home again. Well, not really "home", but in our travelling home. I am already sleepy because the vibration of the truck just lulls me to sleep!
So here is what is going on. We got up this morning and headed out of Salt Lake City. Stopped at some little place called CJ's, which is next to a Pilot but I don't remember the exit but it was north of the city, and had a wonderful breakfast there. Then we headed north again. Stopped at a casino up in Idaho. Played for about an hour and came out about $8 ahead. Of course we stopped at the gas station next door on the way out and got some aspirin and a coke and blew our whole $8 in winnings. Finally decided we better hightail it on into Belgrade,MT. Rolled in here about 1720 and headed first to the small airport. We needed to see if we could bobtail to the airport to drop the car off or if we had to drop it off and get a taxi to the hotel. No low clearances or restrictions so we headed over to pick the truck up. It was so nice seeing her again. So we loaded up, went and dropped the car off and came back to the Flying J which is by the Freightliner dealership and will be spending the night here in the truck. We are available at 0600 in the am and will head out then. Already ran into the restaurant, Bair's, and had some supper and lost $30 in the little casino. Figured I could afford to lose a little since I had such an outstanding winning at the previous casino. :)
So this is where we sit at the moment. In the morning we will find out where they are sending us. From the looks of things, there isn't much freight at all here in Montana so I have a feeling we will be bobtailing several hundred miles to find a load. That is fine with me as long as the weather stays good tonight and the roads stay clear. I certainly don't want to bobtail in the snow.
Thanks to everyone who has been keeping up with us and our travels. We appreciate it and are back on the road now so hopefully we will have new tales to tell you in the near future! Stay safe out there!
