The entire area of Long Beach by the docks were covered with containers. You never realize just how much stuff is shipped by containers on trucks, ships, and by train. Next time you are out and about traveling, take notice, I think you will be surprised.
The containers got loaded onto our trailer, empty containers I should add, and the real work began. It took us almost 4 hours to chain and strap these two containers to our trailer. We had to construct frame work for the second one. With them both securely on the trailer we were ready to head to Gallup, New Mexico.
Along the way, as we approached Flagstaff, Arizona, Craig pointed out a fire in the mountains. We came upon the road signs warning of smoke and then the fire came into view. Craig thought it was probably a control burn as we didn't see any fire fighting equipment anywhere around.
As dusk came we were treated to a beautiful desert sunset. We made it into Gallup and were happy to know our drop off spot was not more than a half mile from the truck stop we stayed at. With the containers quickly off loaded and our equipment put away we were headed south to Pharr, Texas.
