MORE TRUCK

More trucking news. I hit the wrong button and it posted when I wasn't ready to.
We got to MN by going through NV, UT, WY, SD, then MN. Then we headed towards CO, empty. Dad doesn't like to have to drive that far empty, it doesn't pay. We stopped in Lincoln, NE to wash. That was Valentine's Day. We stayed the night there at the truck washing place. We were able to unhook the trailer, leave it there and drove to Red Lobster and Wal-Mart.
After getting washed, we drove to Auora, NE. We attended church there. This is where the Clayson family goes to church. He was the Ag shop teacher at Declo for several years and they lived in our ward for a while. Shane is now in the Branch Presidency. There was about 70 people there. Dad attended this ward last May. He didn't know the Claysons lived there.
We then drove to Lamar, CO. There we loaded sunflower oil on to take to Arbuckle, CA. We took the southern route so we wouldn't have to put chains on the truck. This took us through NM, AZ, and into CA. Arbuckle is up north of Sacramento.
After unloading, we got washed at the same place and then loaded with canola oil. We took it to Yakima, WA. We got a motel room and it had a laundry room. I washed clothes since we were running low and clean ones. Dad went and unloaded and dropped his trailer at the Yard that Idaho Milk has there. The next day, we got another trailer that was loaded with apple juice that we are taking to Etibocoke, Ontario, Canda. This trip has taken us through ID, MT, WY, SD. That is where we are right now. Sioux Falls, SD. We will continue on in the morning. We don't know where we will be going but hopefully towards home.
We miss each of you and love you.
