    We do need a reset but we won't because there is nothing here. Wife wants to drive to Pilot to shower, laundry, etc. Barely made it here from Georgia with the hours we did have. Going home after we pick up, excited to be back in Chicago.

    I'm back in El Paso. My truck was back in the yard so I quickly unloaded all my gear from the loaner, threw it in the bunk of my truck and closed the curtain, lol.

    I didn't realize Pilot took them over. Been a while since I've done NorCal.

    It was kind of dumpy before Pilot, I'm guessing things haven't improved, lmao!

    We drive to the Pilot in Dunnigan, CA. It's small but clean. About 45 miles away from Sacramento.

    Is the 49er the one that charges for parking if your there for longer than 2 hours ? Showers need major updating. That's why we drive to Dunnigan. The one good thing about 49er is the old lady who works the exit gate bakes fresh dog treats.

    Looks like we're going to have to send her back. That problem is back. Told dispatch I could deliver this two dropper in Tennessee just look to route me back to El Paso ASAP.

    Parked at the Tennessean in Cornersville, TN watching three good ol' boys who seem to be loading an enclosed utility trailer onto a car carrier trailer being pulled by a Silverado pickup. Leads me to wonder why they don't just pull it with the pickup, lol. Guess somethings wrong with it.
