It’s all about agriculture
Underway at 0827MT. Ate a very nice bacon, egg and cheese bagel, then filled up with diesel at the campground station. All day I had either a tail wind or slight cross wind, depending on where I-84 was pointed at … Continued
A much better day
Underway from the KOA about 8am MT; temperature was 33 degrees when I woke. Filled the fuel tank (too wiped to do that last night) and started west on I-80, with normal wind speeds. Wide, huge, open plain with mountains … Continued

Start odo 31094. Easy access back to I-40, on which I continued past Nashville nearly to KY. There’s an interesting building on the Nashville skyline that looks like two statues of Meroni; turns out it is the BellSouth (now AT&T) … Continued
On the road cross-country to The Dalles
Departed CFO about 0945. Positioning the Goose at the Gosling’s coupler took just one try, but lots of creep backwards/ cut the wheel/ creep backwards and so on. Rear end of Goose didn’t drop much when I put the Gosling’s … Continued
