Got started before sunrise.  Had all kinds of weather today.  Going through Sturgis, SD had rain that was changing to snow.  Then as I got up higher to about 5,500 feet it was snow. The next two photos were on I-90 in eastern Wyoming.

Montana weather was pretty cool.  Drove around this one.

Then it was a lot better, and so was the view!

Stopped for the night at the Flying J Truck Stop in Belgrade, Montana.

Left Iowa 80 before sunrise this morning.  Very pleasant, uneventful day on the road.  I'm in the Mountain Time Zone now.  Stopped for the night at a very small truck stop in Kadoka, South Dakota.  I'm just outside the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands and the Badlands National Park.

It was 9 degrees when I left Wheeling, WV this morning.  Didn't get as much snow as the weather dude said we would.  Only about a quarter inch.  Very nice day on the road.  Stopped for the night at Iowa 80 again.

Was at the Port of Baltimore in Dundalk, MD first thing this morning and delivered the wheel loader.  Then went over to the Daily yard where my next load was there waiting for me.  Loaded a John Deere 245G Excavator that is going to Kent, Washington.  The weather was gorgeous this morning.  Didn't even need a jacket.  That didn't last long.

Got on the road.  By the time I got to Frederick, MD it was raining.  On I-68 at mile marker 15 in Maryland I drove into a wall of wind.  One second it was nice and the next it was blowing like crazy!  It stayed VERY windy for the rest of the day.  The rain was off and on.  This was the view on I-68 in West Virginia.

North bound on I-79 in Pennsylvania it started changing over to snow.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Wheeling, West Virginia.  The excavator photos above were taken after I stopped for the night.  Weather dude says that we are only going to get about an inch of snow tonight.

Left New Lisbon, IN just before sunrise this morning.  Beautiful day on the road.  Weather was perfect! Had to wait about 45 minutes just outside Baltimore, MD for the curfew to get over at 6 pm.  After that continued to the TA truck stop in Baltimore.  Deliver tomorrow morning.  Then reload and hope to get out of here before the bad weather that is foretasted  gets here.

This happens ALL the time!!  After the guy directly in front of me had already cut me off, another one tries it except he tries it from the shoulder!!  I decided that wasn't going to happen.

Left Iowa 80 very early this morning and drove to Altoona, IA and delivered just after they opened.  After that drove back to the Daily yard in Bettendorf, IA where my next load was sitting there waiting for me.  Loaded a John Deere 624 Wheel Loader that is going to the Port of Baltimore in Dundalk, MD.

Got out of there real fast.  Drove to the Goasis Truck Stop in New Lisbon, Indiana for the night.
