We departed Monterey Bay 9.00am, it was memorial Day so we hit quite a bit of bad traffic.
We got stuck in one traffic jam for 4 miles hitting an all time high speed of 5 miles an hour.
we have our co-pilots,
Weatherbee: A Morbidly obese Golden retriever, he weighs about 45-50kg but is so placed and gentle you just want to hug him.
Sunny: a hyperactive Labrador that has the strength of an ox and takes you for a walk.
they are both so quite though you would hardly even tell that they are with us, we stop every 2 hours and let them out for a toilet brake, water and maybe a treat before we lead them back into the suburban being careful to always let Weatherbee in first so he can get there bed into the right position via humping it, lol.
Our trip on today took us from Monterey , San Jose, Sacramento (where somehow we got lost as the I-80 east turned into the business 80?? still have no idea what happened there but god had our backs and looped us right back onto the I80 east... that is of coarse after tempers had risen.) Tahoe, reno.. smooth sailing from there just a straight road with nothingnesses! mill city for the worst subway ever, mill city has a population of 28... need we say more. and then at 10:30 we arrived at Carlin (just before Elko)on super "E" because we were surrounded by nothingness there were no gas stations between mill city and Carlin thats about 70 miles of trying to conserve gas and pray hard out that we would make it.
