SNOW
We left the plaza and drove in some serious snow all the way back to New York.We saw alot of deer along the I-90 highway and when we came down before it was dark, I didn't see all the grape vineyards outside of Buffalo, NY. there were miles and miles of them. Ricky was wondering how we were suppose to keep the pickles from freezin. Just hoped for the best. We were lucky to get a spot in the small truckstop so that we had bathroom access. Drove down the next morning and got to do a drop and hook. The roads weren't too bad, the parking lots are always the worse. Went back to get our spot, buttt, of course it was gone... so back to the casino parking lot. We sat until our hours were getting short again of course, but we are headed home... after a side trip outside of New York City in New Jersey. All that area is just one big nightmare traffic wise, We did get down there without any problems... even though the directions were off. We got there and another driver had taked our load, but his was going to the same place, so was just a matter of getting numbers straight... and off we went to Lawrence, KS. Made it to Pennsylvania just as our hours were out, so that meant a good thing for the traffic the next morning. Got to the Ohio-Indiana line for the next night, was snowing really heavy, the rest area lot was very thick with ice and snow and fog was moving in. Left Sunday morning and when we hit the Indiana line the roads were terrible, Ohio salt trucks had done a lot better job. We saw several trucks in the median and on the side. Ricky did really good, I was very proud of him, his practice last winter helped. We called the girls as we drove through Indy, they were digging out their cars in their driveways. I told them to stay home, make hot chocolate and watch a funny movie... that's what I would have liked to do... : ) Called Jenn and she said they had gotten a little snow at home too, not nearly like what we had been in for several days, Thank goodness... She said they were all fine though, just cold. We got to a Petro just out from Kansas City last night... got there at 6:00pm and were lucky to find one parking spot way down by the lube shop.. was a long cold walk up to the restaurant and bathrooms. People were driving all around looking for a spot all night. When we left at 4:30 this morning trucks were parked in every available spot they could get away with. Spots for truckers to stay can get to be a nightmare most of the time. We delivered without any trouble this morning... was a chilly 19 degrees... but we are still waiting for a dispatch, hopefully to go on to Joplin..we were 27 when we went on the board this morning after our empty call. This is the part I wish the planners had a taste of. Sitting in a customers lot or worse waiting, for hours.Oh well, hopefully we will get home tomorrow.. I'm ready to sleep in my waterbed : ) Catch you up later.....

Livin our Dream....Belinda and Ricky
