Western headquarters

We’re sitting at Prime’s Salt Lake City terminal after arriving last night about 10 p.m. local time. We made our delivery of frozen pizzas (Tony’s and Red Baron) to a cold storage facility in Clearfield, Utah and then headed down the freeway to spend the night at the terminal.

The trip out from Kentucky (just across the state border from Cincinnati, OH) was fairly uneventful, though we did get within shouting distance of my hometown of Smithville, MO (it was too early to stop by for a visit) and did have my first opportunity to drive across Wyoming, parts of which we have now dubbed “Moon Base Alpha” because of the starkness of the landscape.

There were some attractive parts of Wyoming, too, as you can see. However, the clouds in the photos eventually developed into rain storms so we got a little wet.

I needed some more work on my backing skills, so we spent a couple of hours driving in reverse. We then swung by the maintenance shop to pick up some spare bulbs, windshield wipers, and air vent filters, put those on, and then settled in for a lunch break before heading out on our next trip which starts up the road a bit in Idaho. It will take us back across much of where we just were; Interstate 80 across Wyoming and Nebraska, and then down Interstate 29 to a city just outside of Kansas City.

We’re scheduled to be home starting next Thursday, staying through the weekend. Hope to see many of you then.
