A LITTLE FAMILY TIME IN IDAHO FALLS

We spent the night in Rawlins, Wyoming after a pretty uneventful day Saturday. Again, we heard rumblings of a big storm, but the only thing we got was about 90 seconds of raindrops and then it stopped. We haven't seen any since.

So I really wasn't paying much attention to where we were after we headed out Sunday morning. I was busy on the computer, so when I felt Craig let off the gas and start heading for an off ramp, I saw his destination.......Wal-Mart. But then I saw something he didn't see.....Starbucks. As we pulled into the parking lot, in Rock Springs, Wyoming, it seemed we weren't the only truck drivers in town doing their shopping, as the lot had at least 7 tractor trailer rigs already lined up.

We made quick work of it and in under an hour had our groceries checked, bagged, and headed out the door. With a dash into Starbucks for our favorite coffee drinks, we were happily heading towards Utah listening to our favorite Sunday radio shows on NPR......Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Car Talk, and A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor.

It seemed the only people out on the road today were truckers and RV'ers. As we approached the Salt Lake City area, it finally happened. RAIN Now I can't say it was a downpour, but a nice steady rain on and off until we hit our final destination for the day in Twin Falls.

The dealership we were to deliver to on Monday didn't open up until 9am, so we were able to get up early, take showers, and have a nice leisurely drive into Boise. With only one boat to drop off, it didn't take long before we were headed back the was we came in. We were happy to know that our routing took us right through Idaho Falls where Craig's son Mike & family live, and also his sister & family. We found a truck stop just outside of town and called to have them pick us up so we could visit with them for awhile.

It was fun to have each of the two Grandsons take a turn sitting behind the wheel of the truck. Both Nathan and Corbin seemed to enjoy the experience, who knows, there might be a future truck driver in the family.

We left Tuesday morning to head to the border, and I'm not talking about Taco Bell. We quickly passed through Canadian Customs without a blink of an eye and were headed to a truck stop in Nanton, Alberta for the night. We hope to deliver at both dealerships today, our first drop is scheduled for 9am, in Calgary and then drive 200 miles to Edmonton for the last drop. We will be anxiously awaiting to hear where our next dispatch takes us.
