Got on the road real early this morning.  Got down to San Diego this afternoon and delivered the generator.  That place was right next to the Mexican border.  Then started heading east.  Made it all the way through Los Angeles and San Diego today with very little bumper to bumper traffic.  AMAZING!!  I'm still waiting for my earth quake!!

Stopped for the night in Live Oak Springs, CA at the Acorn Casino, I-8 exit 61.

Left Denver early this morning.  West on I-70 from Denver is one of my favorite interstates in the country.  It is gorgeous!!  Unfortunately I went through the best part before sun up so I didn't get any photos for you.  the snow was three feet deep up at the Eisenhower Tunnel.  It didn't get light enough for video until I was past that tunnel and west of Vail.  Here is some video I shot for you showing some of the beauty I-70.  It is a bit long but I hope you like it.  If you don't like my videos tell me.  If you do, tell me too.  I would like your feedback.  I'll do more if you like them, and stop if you don't.

Delivered the Snow cat accessories in Grand Junction, CO then continued on toward San Diego.

Drove to St. George, Utah on I-15, four miles north of Arizona to a Flying J truck stop for the night.

Drove to Iliff, CO, that's in the north east corner of Colorado. Went to a cow farm.  The place stunk like cow poo.  It took 2 3/4 hours to get the stuff off the trailer.  Most of that time was me sitting there waiting for them to do it.  Hurt my back unstrapping it too. 

Finally got on the road to Denver.  Delivered the stone slabs.  Then drove to a place in Denver to pick up a backhoe that goes to Miami, FL.  It took forever to get that thing on too.  By the time I was ready to leave I was really tired, had a headache, my back still hurt, and I was filthy from all the dust & dirt.  I drove to the TA in west Denver on I-70, ate, showered, and slept  Good night!!
