Wendover, UT

Well, Well.... it's been awhile. I spent some time in Northern California and then headed down to Los Angeles where I got a load headed for Las Vegas, NV. After that it was back to Los Angeles and then up to Sacramento where I took an extra day and then grabbed a load from Fairfield going to Ohio.

The shot below is of Donner Pass. The pass was shut down about 14 hours after I came through due to severe weather. Reno had a mild blizzard as well. I stopped at Boomtown and played a little at the casino where I came out pretty good in the end. Thor didn't want to be outside much due to the strong winds. We left yesterday afternoon and stopped in Wendover, UT where I'm sitting as I type.

The wind is strong here and is rocking my entire truck back and forth. I don't have a lot of weight since I'm hauling empty aluminum cans. Not a good setup in high winds as my trailer doesn't have enough weight to stick to the ground. After I cross Utah I'm expecting more severe weather going across Wyoming.
