Iowa 80!

A break at the biggest truck stop on earth proved educational with a library, museum, modern displays, dining, theatres--and my favorite after 2-3 days without one...showers!



Location: Walcott, Iowa. I-80 Exit 284.

Christmas on the Road!

While unable to compete with the classic 'home & family' Christmas, the road still offers some sweet vistas & insights on white sandy beaches (Miramar, Florida), interstate lights (I-35 in Texas my favorite), t-shirt & shorts weather (nice...) & a spaghetti rings in tomato sauce Christmas Eve Dinner! (blah:-/...my bachelor dinner just doesn't compare!) But my tummy is full, I'm healthy, I'm happy, and I foresee many better days just around the bend (including Christmas)!..I simply have to steer that direction.

Road Service

Aahhh...A refreshing Sunday service & tune-up was just what I needed to keep moving succesfully across the highway of life!

The border walk...

Upon discovering 'River Walk' road near the CREngland Terminal, I was excited to explore its destination.

So I did & discovered (after a few detours) 'El Rio Grande' under one of the main transport bridges between the US & Mexico, a sound sleeping pelican (I came within 5'!), a bunch of beer cans/bottles (drink & litter responsibly!), and (surprise) a cautious & concerned border patrol officer--'Be Careful'.

Careful (according to my standards) I was & we arrived safely back to camp in a Freightliner Classic XL next to dozens of other trucks waiting for trailers.
