HE'S ROUNDING THE CORNER, AND HEADING FOR HOME

Well, not really home per se, but the Company yard. After Craig left Texas, he had to stop in New Mexico to get a tire replaced on his drives. It didn't slow him down much as he drove through some snow flurries in Colorado on his way to Utah and spending the night in Green River, UT. His sights were then set on Jerome, ID and the Blue Beacon Truck Wash, but not without doing battle with the shrink wrap on the boats. He has been fighting the winds since he left Texas and has already gone through one roll of tape and is working on his second. After the truck and trailer were clean, he ended up spending the night in Caldwell, ID, just east of the Oregon border.

Tonight he is at one of my favorite truck stops, not for the facilities, but for views and nice cool weather, North Bend, WA on the Snoqualmie Pass. It is usually hard to find an open space there, but with it being the weekend, it's not as busy as it is during the week. Craig's plan is to drive to Ferndale, WA tomorrow and stage just a mere 25 miles from the dealership in Surrey, Canada, and deliver his last load of boats Monday morning.


Craig took the opportunity to take pictures of this load for sentimental reasons, I just wish I could have been there for this historical event.

Home gets closer and closer. Exciting.

I can see how hard it has been for you two to be apart. Even the good times aren't as fun without your other half with you are they Craig?
