I like Denver!

Camp Walmart!
My first time resting my head in a rig at Walmart went well. Sleep in a non-moving vehicle (besides the earth) is nearly always easier.

Spice'n up lunch & life!
En route to a Dallas delivery, breaks & window sight-seeing are essential!

Cold Milk!
Served straight from the cream machine spicket...cereal on the road gets easier (& more economical) everyday--thanks coffee drinkers!

Road Tires...
Life on the road is a taxing & tiring adventure--we're delivering 33,362 pounds of fresh (unlike me) tomatoes & cucumbers from Mexico to Michigan. The truck, trailer, & tomatoes seem to feel no fatigue compared to me.

Laredo TexMex Trailer transport
Thanks to a delayed load I took some time to explore & scratch the surface of U.S./Mexico trade via trailer y dinero. I also walked around the block & talked with a couple Mexican truckers from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico who had crossed the border to pickup or dropoff. They say Americans rarely cross the border...Laredo, USA being the main hub.

Fiesty Fire Ants!
These ants (fire possibly?) were supposed to storm the curb and come after you like they did me at another ant pile, but plans don't always go as expected...whaddya do? Accept the unexpected, be flexible & fix the damage--I put that dirt in place much quicker than the ants could have, but not near as persistantly & precisely.

Tradin' Trainers (Phase 1.7)
Dallas Texas will be my backyard for a few due to another trainer trade/upgrade. Drivin' & Jivin' ain't easy. Going cross country with two to three distinct personalities in a 77 sqft. cab condo (2 bed, no bath) is like living in your bathroom!..minus the facilities!! Yet the view from the throne is incredible.

Top Bunk in Tulia Texas
It's not often I'm able to sleep in the top bunk because the truck is usually moving, making it unsafe for sleeping (too easy to fly through windshield). But we're immobile tonight & I'm taking advantage!

Kick'n back, in back...
I kinda like kick'n back in the bottom bunk watching the world go by (it's flying by, inviting me to arch the gaps in my life & run steady as a river). Plus I'm getting some good geography lessons--that's the Mighy Mississippi running next to the St. Louis Arch. The Missouri feeds (or exits?..unlikely) the Mississippi further north.

The Garden State
While we weren't exposed to the most fertile parts & plants of New Jersey (we visit warehouses) we'll be back--Cincinnati's awaiting 43,926 pounds of Arizona Sweet Tea!

Our Amazing Island!
Today's drive (yesterday actually) was amazing! The views of ivy-covered ledges & trees along I-75 north to Atlanta was peaceful & inviting--one area looked like terraced waterfalls of ivy! (I'll get ya some pictures & videos on another trip!) Speaking of trips here's Saturdays trip to the pool (across the street from the TA truck stop)...I just slept through Kentucky, Indiana, & Illinois--I'll be driving to Green Bay shortly.

The North Gate
Brother & Sister Row's backyard gate leads straight to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints chapel in Lecanto, Florida--Appealing!..Add a temple & waterpark & I'm there for the long haul!
