    What mall. They have about 1700 of them.
    That’s old stomping grounds.

    Right now they still haul glass for Viracon out of Menomonie. The trailers are not the dual purpose like they used to have.

    It looks like Google Maps has it identified as Milpitas Farmers Market. Empty parking lot next to McDonalds, if I read your locations and cross streets correctly. Going off of the Pho Kim location to compare the streets and found McDonalds, so if it's near it, it's pegged as I've mentioned. :)

    Anytime you can put weight on top of the fifth wheel plate it’ll ride better.

    The shopping mall is called “The Great Mall” that is on the border of San Jose and Milpitas. You can get into the area from both 680 and 880. Just really depends on what direction your coming in from. My guess is your going 40 to 58 and some 99. I usually go up 99 a few miles to 46 and go over to 5 in lost hills. Truck stops there if needed. From both 99 and 5, you can cut over to Gilroy on 152, it’s a decent road, 2 lane for the tight part. Also a petro on that road, few miles west of 5, a few miles north on 5 to T/A or loves, all get full quick. 152 west will put you on 101 north in Gilroy. Watch the truck routes at the outlets. From 101 you can pick up/take either 680 or 880. Just a note, super coop in Gilroy.
    Trivia, that mall is built on the site of an old Ford plant. Was where the assembled Mustangs.

    Yup that’s them, Lancaster Development. We did some bridge work with them years ago and I had no idea they were so big. I got a flat on my trailer last fall and they took care of me at their headquarters…

    Yeah we'll probably take 680 in off the 101. A whole 3k lbs so 152 should be a breeze. Last time we went across it, everything was green instead of the usual brown, was absolutely beautiful.

    Casa de Fruita and a few of the other stands are good places to get tasty snacks.
