I LOVE THIS MOUNTAIN

I never grow tired of taking pictures of mountains, trees, and old barns. And I guess it is a good thing, since I get to see this mountain every 3-4 days. I love how just a couple of weeks ago it was bare, and now it's covered in snow.
.
After leaving Arlington, we did manage to stop in Chehalis, WA at the Wal Mart to restock our pantry. If we weren't low on a few things, I would have passed. Nothing like venturing into a Wal Mart on a weekend. For the next two months, until after Christmas, we are going to have to plan very carefully when we make these stops. I'm thinking about 3am on a weeknight just might work out well.
.
We stayed the night in Halsey, OR and awoke to thick, heavy fog all around us. We made our way out to the freeway just before dawn, and hoped that the daylight would make it easier to see. It did, but just minimally. In fact it stayed overcast and foggy for most of the day, except for pockets of sunshine that forced it's way through the cloud/fog cover.
.
We called it a night in Corning, CA at our favorite Casino, where there is ample parking, and of course, those free soda and coffees. We once again avoided any gambling, but couldn't resist partaking in a great buffet. I am not one to eat at a buffet, but this is one place I would gladly return to time and time again.
.
We awoke and drove back a couple of miles to the truck stops in Corning to take showers and fuel up and then it was a short 3 plus hour drive into the Company yard where we have been since late this morning. We at least got our laundry done and have been continuing with our easy lifestyle for yet another day. We deliver at 7:30am tomorrow morning, just 5 miles away, so it looks like we will be able to sleep in again. Yeah, I know, it's a rough life!

Hi Diane,
Love the blog. Our lives have so much in common! I laugh when I write in my blog that I'm tired! I only ride, but it is tiresome at times. I have taken approximately 1300 pictures of mountains, barns, and old buildings! And the Wal-Mart (arrival time) is so cute... had to stop at Wal-Mart today ourselves! Travel safe!
