    Despite a questionable start, it was certainly one of those rare days where everything just came together.

    And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, the 35k load I booked turned out to be 14k. And I was 3 hours early, even after killing a little time not to be too early. And was on the road 1.5 hrs later, loaded out to the doors. I should have bought a lottery ticket while i was in the truck stop eating a while ago.

    I took the pictures so I can treasure that memory when the road pictured above is under a foot of snow and ice.

    It's cause I grew up in the good weather. I have a healthy respect for real winter. I just try to pass on the info that others passed to me trying to save the NEWB from physical and financial damage.

    LOL Took a 200 mile out of route to get around that mess. Looked it up.... they had more rain that morning than all of last winter in Lebec area.

    That area has been so dry there was no way the water was going to soak in.

    Basically the drainage ditch down the middle of the steep part of Grapevine jumped it's banks and covered the highway. It's a seasonal occurrence in most of the rest of the country.

    CA58 haven't found out what happened there yet......
