After a few hours sleep I got back on the road.  Was trying to get to Dallas, Texas for my reset but I realized that by the time I got there, no parking places would be left at the truck stop.  I stopped at a Love's truck stop in Witcha Falls, Texas for the night.  Tomorrow I'll  get to Dallas for me reset and fix my log book when I get there.

Went over to West Valley City and picked up my next load.  It didn't load till 3 pm MST.  Picked up some metal panels that are going to be shipped to Lynden Pindling Airport in Nassau, Bahamas.  Very small and light load.  Feels like I'm pulling an empty trailer.  When I got loaded I drove all night and stopped in Pinon, Colorado at a truck stop.

Delivered this morning in Corinne, Utah.  My next load loads tomorrow afternoon in West Valley, Utah.  That's next to Salt Lake City.  Drove down to the Flying J truck stop for the night in Salt Lake City.

Left Memphis, Texas this morning and drove up through New Mexico then into Colorado.  Passed a heard of elk (at least I think they were elk).  They were closer to the road but I spooked them.  Glad they ran that way!

Then I started to get snow flurries.  Then I started to go up.  At the 8300 foot level of the mountain it was snowing pretty good.  Fortunately I went back down the other side before it got too bad.  Here is a photo of going down the other side. 

After that the sun came out and it was real nice for the rest of the day. 

Went through Denver and passed Tim Tebo's new home, Invesco Field at Mile High.

Then into Wyoming.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Laramie, Wyoming.  Seems like I was just here.  Oh, that's right!  I was!!

Left Jackson, Mississippi this morning and drove in the rain most of the day.  Very uneventful day.  By the time I stopped for the night in Memphis, Texas at the Love's truck stop, it was clear and cold.  Watching President Pin Head's State of the Union Show.  The guy sure can deliver a speech, but that's all he can do.  Take away his TelePrompter and he can't talk.  The Man-child has spoken!!

My next load is a load of hardwood crane mats.  Loading in Perry, FL and going out to Utah.  Left Seville early this morning and got to Perry at 7am.  Got loaded and was on the road in an hour.  Then stopped at the Motor Carrier office in Tallahassee to get my new tag since the one I have expires at the end of the month.  Spent 3 1/2 hours there.  What a pain in the....... well you know!!  After that I drove up to Jackson, Mississippi to the Petro truck stop for the night.

Found out that this load delivers Sunday, not today in Port St. Lucie, FL so I drove to Seville, FL to our yard for the night.
