    That's a cool place to stop. You should have eaten in the diner.

    I was persuaded with enough money to explore the keystone state this week. In Allentown this morning. Once my logbook catches up, I'll try a toll avoidance route that looks good enough to do again in a day or so for a later reload. Plan to be at the Brookville TA early enough this afternoon for free parking. Beyond that involves a 0400 delivery appt and who knows what else.

    Finally got out of there, and made it to Sysco 30 minutes late and hit me with a 50 dollar late fee. Wow when did they start that up. They must make a fortune. Was only 30 minutes late and still don't have a door. Have another stop in St Louis. Suppose to be for 1300 but not sure when I'll get there. Hopefully I can get it off today and then head to last stop at another AWG in Southaven, MS for tmrw. Only time will tell. Nap time till the phone rings.

    What a day got all 3 stops off and 1 more to go. Then get my reload out of Forrest City AR, and head back to Denver, And to think Earlier in the week I was going to reject my restart because I was going to be on hometime. Still was able to get the wife to the hospital, and knock out some decent miles. Well guess it's time to play in some STL traffic and mossy on down double nickle. We goneeeeeeeee!!

    It is a pain. We got there around 7am so I was able to find parking. First time I went there was in the middle of the night....had to wake up the wife to get out of there safely.

    Anyone been to Wiskey Pete's I-15 Exit 1 ? It's a Flying J with a hotel/casino. Got a Qdoba, Starbucks in the c-store. Hotel/casino looks nice. If you fuel up you get 50% off of one night & free buffet. That would get the hotel for $15.

    I'll have to try the buffet next time. The whole place looked interesting. The only negative I saw was it could use more truck parking.
