Change of plans

We're still going to Kansas, but not with the load we picked up in Idaho.

Cheryl, our dispatcher, told us she has another load for us that will get us home to California late Tuesday so we brought our trailer full of frozen McDonalds french fries to the yard in Denver for someone else to pick up and take the rest of the way.

We have picked up a new empty trailer and will be heading to southwestern Kansas later this morning to pick up a load headed back to Southern California.

We had the chance to have dinner with Lori's brother, Curtis, and his wife, Candy in Sinclair, Wyoming yesterday. They have a load going from the docks in New Jersey to Vancouver, British Columbia. Since we were passing each other on I-80, we figured out about where our paths would cross and then picked a spot to catch a meal and spend some time together.

It's obvious that summer is coming to a close. It got down to 39 degrees in Idaho where we spent the night, we had to put on jackets at the rest area in Wyoming yesterday, and the Rockies outside of Denver are covered with snow this morning after a storm yesterday. We're hoping to avoid most of the bad weather from Hurricane Ike as it moves further north across Texas and into Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri but we may catch the edge of it.
