Out On The Road, First Trip.

First, We ended up going to Chicago, IL. instead of Maryland.

Nutley made a coment about budgeting. Thanks Nutley, I have already learned that the first day. I spent like $30.00 and was woundering what the heck happened. The next day we went to Walmart in Nebraska. I spen $30.00 there and now have enough food to last 5 days. As far as gambling goes I don't, so that shouldn't be an issue.
Ken and Karen mentioned Basslemans. I was at the one in Big Springs, NE. We did get a free shower, but anybody can with 50 gals of fuel.

I am writing to you from Chicago, IL. At an Oasis rest stop that is built over the freeway (toll way). We just delivered in Chicago and are on our way to pick up in Wisconsin, and then we are heading to Washington State. It has been an adventure thus far. We passed thru a light snow storm in Vail, Co. and lost our brakes on the way down (I wasn’t driving). Due to the wet and slippery conditions, we could not use the engine brake. We used it after that and made it down the hill safely.
We are driving like a team, 6 hours on, 6 off. My trainer says that we will be switching to a 12/12 this week. Okay, that’s it for now. Here are some pics. Sorry such short posts, but you know how life on the road is.
