GOOD-BYE WEST COAST

Just a quick update... gotta get in the bed for an early and long day tomorrow. Gotta make some miles . We delivered our load of beer in San Diego, and got a dispatch to go to the yard right on the border to pick up a relay from Mexico to go to Davenport, Iowa to be delivered by Monday. Almost 2000 miles, gee.. and running on a ragged book... one of Ricky's terms. So drove the rest of our hours trying to get to Las Vegas to spend the night : ) Neither of us have ever been there.. our daughter, Kelly has been there several times with Brian. So another first for us, but, ... we didn' t get to stop and play. : ( didn't make it... Got to the brake check spot just 16 miles from the Nevada line and Ricky checked the brakes.. one of the brake lines on the trailer had blown off... long story short.. by the time he had it ok-ed to try and fix it himself.. our hours were up and that's where we spent the night.. :( Ricky got the brake fixed, and down the mountain we went. Some beautiful sights in Nevada, Utah and Arizona that we didn't see before because we were on different roads. Gotta go home before long to get Ricky to burn off my memory sticks on a disc so I can take more pictures.. : ) We have made it into Colorado and are west of Denver at a little truck stop. We are gonna get as far as we can in Nebraska tomorrow. This has been a hard run with no fun built in. : (
Try to write more tomorrow.. off to real dream land

Dreamin our Dream together..Belinda and Ricky
