WESTWARD HO!



Today finds Craig on the move again. They loaded up three 22 foot pleasure boats out of Vonore, Tennessess around 1:30pm and were headed towards Seattle. When I last caught up with him, he had awaken from a long winter's nap at around 8pm our time and was somewhere in Kentucky. They planned on driving through the night on this 2800 mile trip and be in Seattle by Thursday. I warned him that the pleasant weather he had experienced this past week would probably change as they go back up north through Missouri and get back onto Highway 90 to Washington State.

Craig called around 2:30pm on Tuesday to report that they were headed west on Highway 90 through South Dakota. They had taken turns driving through the night, took a rest at a truck stop in Sioux Falls, South Dakota to fuel up and take a shower. They predict they will be in Seattle by Wednesday afternoon and drop off the boats on Thursday morning.

We still suspect that Craig will spend some time in Spokane with a flatbed driver to learn the ropes, so to speak, about tarping and then receive his own truck. We are hoping to meet up the end of next week.
