Okay, now that Lori has delivered her high value load we can share what it was and where she went. The contents of the trailer were pharmeceutical devices - for horses! And the load went to Ontario, CA - just up the street from home.
Lori arrived in the area Thursday night, so Mike had the chance to join Lori for the evening and then they made the delivery this morning at 9:00. Since Lori was in town, we took the opportunity to have the grandkids spend the day with us on the truck. It was quite an experience.
First, we had to take the empty trailer to Prime's drop yard in Ontario and pick up a pre-loaded trailer (at the same drop yard) filled with produce headed for the Wal-Mart distribution center in Corinne, Utah. Since it's not due until 5:00 p.m. Saturday evening, Lori was able to stay in town for awhile. So, the grandkids rode with Lori in the truck up to at Newton's Outpost in Hesperia (where Highway 395 intersects with Interstate 15) while Mike followed in his pickup truck. The four of them had lunch and then they all went over to a nearby truck wash. A dust and thunder storm in Phoenix Wednesday night made a real mess of the truck.
Speaking of that thunder storm, Lori saw one lighting bolt hit a hillside and start a brush fire. As of this morning, the fire had spread across the Gila Indian Reservation between Tucson and Phoenix.
Grandson Tyler got a real kick out of sitting in the truck while it was washed. In fact, he gets a real kick out of the whole idea of being a truck driver. He can't get enough time sitting "behind the wheel."
After the wash, everybody said their goodbyes and Grandma Lori headed north on I-15 while Grandpa and the kids headed for home. Of course, we'll all see each other again on Thursday for Elizabeth's wedding!
