A SHORT HOP, SKIP, & JUMP TO SALT LAKE CITY

We spent Saturday at the yard in Spokane getting the trailer bumper pulled back, but it's still not straight and the metal has a big crack in it. It does look better though. Sunday morning we decided to drive into Moses Lake as we were going to be loading a couple of Genies on Monday morning. I especially like the truck stop there because of the Starbucks across the street. We did our laundry while watching the Seattle/Chicago game, then headed to Starbucks.
  
Monday we were loading our twin Genie S-40's onto the trailer and heading to Salt Lake City. We managed to make it into Boise, Idaho Monday night. Tuesday we stopped in Twin Falls, Idaho for a truck and trailer wash. Seems a lot of drivers wanted to get their rigs washed as it took us over 90 minutes to get to the head of the line.
  
I went for a walk to the store for this week's People magazine and a couple of cups of coffee at a little espresso shop near by. It was so cold outside that by the time I made it back to the truck, I couldn't feel my fingers, but at least the truck looked nice after a good cleaning!
  
Since this was only a 700 mile trip we were in Salt Lake City Tuesday night in time to watch American Idol.
With an easy off load Wednesday morning we were quickly given another assignment to go to Colton, California to pick up two twenty foot containers to take to Phoenix. With the temperature outside a mere 10 degrees, we were for the time being happy to be headed towards warmer weather.

Well...it is warmer here than there. But the lows have been hovering in the upper 20's. Damn cold for this area. And creating havoc for the citrus crops. Welcome back to sunny? California!
