    At the rest area at exit 335 on I84 in Oregon.

    Ran WA 14 from I 205 to I 82. Interesting road. I like it.

    Had fun near the junction with US 97 as I encountered a truck trying to make a u turn. He ended up blocking the whole road. I guess he missed the turnoff for 97 south.

    Despite of being a very quiet place the whole night, I woke up several times...

    Now at a rest area in NM... Decided to take US roads up to UT.... will save some miles but it's going to be steep, up hills and lots of curves... well I'm only 75,940 lbs... so, it's going to be ok... at least it's not snowing...

    I have to give these Darigold guys credit. They know how to load a trailer to where 45690 lbs can be scaled legally even for California

    Made it to my delivery with 40 minutes to spare despite the trailer issues. Man I so wanted to sleep an extra couple hours and not run 450 miles without stopping once and I could have used the trailer issues as an excuse. I hate being responsible sometimes
