Happy Thanksgiving

 

We just wanna wish all of our family, friends and readers a very Happy Thanksgiving. We just arrived in Portland and we are headed to Bob's place to spend Thanksgiving. When we leave on friday we will be hauling out Christmas trees!

Wyoming

 

This is a pretty typical sight in Wyoming this time of year and all through the winter. About a week ago we were headed outta of Denver headed north and then west across I80 to Twin Falls Idaho, we were delivering a load of Budweiser beer to a distributor in Twin Falls. The wind was blowing so hard, rocking the truck from every direction, the gusts of wind were in excess of 60 mph that day. And like I said that strong of wind is pretty typical for Wyoming, if any of you have driven through there you know exactly what I am talking about.

Return of the Living Dead

Have ya ever seen the movie "Return of the Living Dead"? We was just driving down the highway like usual and I looked up and there was this trailer hauling these military looking like canisters. The first thing that came to mind is the series of movies, Return of the Living Dead I, II & III. Let's hope all of those canisters made it safely to there destination and none of them feel off and into a storm drain to be found by some mischievous kids.

 
 
 
 

Devils slide

In Utah on I84 just after ya turn off in Ogden before ya get to I80, on the south side you will come across this natural rock formation called "The Devils Slide", If ya blink you will miss it.

 
 
 
 

Tulsa, OK

Another pretty sky line we got to see.

 
 
 

Cherokee Turnpike

 
 
 
 

There is a section of highway in Oklahoma apparently owned by the Cherokee Indians, called the Cherokee Turnpike, we actually had to pay the indians $7.50 to drive on this highway? I know we've given stuff to the Indians, but when did we start giving them stretches of highway to scalp us on? Ain't the casinos enough?

We like trucking video

Watch this video, I found it pretty funny!

Revenge of the Killer Grass Hoppers!

Once all the trucks were gone they had no choice but to turn on the poor unsuspecting four wheelers.

This poor truck was just sitting there playing dead hoping the grass hoppers wouldn't notice him, no such luck. He was taken down in a matter of seconds, he didn't have a chance.

They were attacking trucks trying to take refuge inside of a building, there was no place to hide.

Here is the massive creature, he wrangled a truck to the ground.

There was no getting away from these massive creatures, they were every where, they left no truck standing, they tookem all down. I hope America learns a lesson from this terrible carnage, who's gonna deliver your stuff now?

(No grass hoppers or trucks were hurt during the making of this story. True story we were in southern Utah, the grass hoppers were every where, thousands of them. The funny part is ya don't think about bugs feeling cold or heat, hundreds of grass hoppers took refuge in the shade of our trailer that day.)

Flew to Oregon

As most of you know I had to jump on a plane and fly to Oregon to be with our son Bob, before I left I got a chance to go and see my mom and dad. Pictured here also is our 1 year old grand daughter Kaylee.

Oregon

Here is more of the beautiful gorge in Oregon to enjoy, with the river, the mountains, trees, cliffs and Multnomah Falls, which I haven't gotten a picture of yet to put on here. More pictures for you to look at Carla!

Gorge

This is the last of the river in eastern gorge in Oregon, just before ya turn south and head outta the gorge, then back into more ugly, hot terrain. Did you go to this area much at all Carla?

Las Vegas

We were headed north through Nevada, we came around the east side of Las Vegas and kept heading north. Then we eventually headed west cause we were headed to California on this particular trip.

Oregon

This is eastern Oregon, it's no where near as pretty as the gorge or western Oregon. It was a bit foggy the day we came through here.

California river

This big river is north of San Jose California.

Texas Lake

This lake is east of Dallas Texas.

Washington

We've been into this area of eastern Washington twice now. The first time picking up a load of frozen potatos to haul back east. The second time was to a winery to pick up a load of wine.

Mountains

Just more beautiful mountain ranges and rivers west of Reno Nevada on I80
