DG:  3:00 am, hit snooze, 3:10, up, cold, 51 degrees in the truck. Brrrrrr!! Coffee. Mmmmm…..

Well, the coffee didn’t come for a few hours. But when it did it was good. 

Long drive today.  666 miles. Across Wyoming and Utah to just over the line of Nevada. 

I forgot to mention a couple of days ago that I hit a turkey.  There was a flock of them, probably a dozen or more, by the side of the road and they decided to fly just as I was too close to avoid them or slow down to miss them. One hit on the top driver side corner of the grill and all I saw was a big explosion of feathers. It literally looked as if it desentigrated. There was no need to stop and I was on a two lane road so that wouldn’t have been safe to do even if there was anything that could be done for the turkey, which there wasn’t. I checked my grill at my next stop and there was a small crack, plastic truck, on the corner where it hit. I didn’t think to look anywhere else and then today as I was walking back to the truck after fueling I saw a feather hanging on the bumper on the passenger side. And holy smokes, it’s cracked. Big time. LOOK!

  
Oh well, whattaya do?  

More pics of trip. 

  
  
And my stop for the night. 

  
It’s not Vegas, but pretty neat.  

I don’t know how else to describe this, the parking lot for two of the casinos has a building labeled “Truckers Lounge” and in there you will find snacks and personal items for sale, free showers, three TVs with tables and very comfortable chairs and very reasonably priced laundry facilities. Oh and one free cup of coffee.

A real food dinner at Primo, the main restaurant at the rainbow casino. And now a cookie and off to bed. 

God bless
