Craig made his way to Brisbane but not without a lot of practice pulling up and backing up. Seems the business was located behind a Fire Station and construction zone and he had to maneuver through some very tight turns and a very small driveway. After spending a couple of hours tarping, (see that training did come in handy), he was on his way to Washington. He spent the night in Corning at one of the local truck stops and was able to enjoy using his laptop with the WI-FI service we have. He left Corning early Tuesday morning and arrived in Sunnyside, WA Tuesday evening. The dairy farm and crane were waiting for him bright and early Wednesday morning and after a quick drop off he was headed to Spokane.
After checking in at Spokane, there was a need for a couple of boats to be delivered into Canada. So once again he loaded up, this time with the Mutt and Jeff of boats, a tiny 10 foot dingy and a 30 foot cruiser. Definitely a wide load and somewhat comical to look at. Wednesday night finds Craig at a small truck stop in Davenport, WA and awaiting the adventure of his first trip into Canada.
He doesn't know quite what to expect, but he is reading up on Canadian traffic laws and hoping to be able to locate some truck stops along the way. If all else fails, he does have some fellow drivers he can call for advice.
Monday and Tuesday will find him back in Spokane for the long awaited servicing of his truck. I'll post some pictures as soon as Craig finds an area with digital cell service to send them to me.
He is still loving it, but very much looking forward to my arrival in the truck to help with the navigation. I won't say this too loud but he has taken a wrong turn once or twice. I'll be more than happy to assume my position proudly beside him reading maps and navigating our way not only through the USA but internationally as well.
