Seeing as he still had 4+ hours available to drive, Trainer started out driving. Not a bad thing, for me - lets me look at Wyoming, instead of the Interstate. Pronghors, Mountains, and Sage. I think I'm due to drive when we get to Utah.
Took over early. Trainer made it to Sinclaire.
Did the big hills heading into Utah again. No problems downshifting (Yay me!). Drove through The Devil's Slide for the first time in my life - during daylight hours. I"ve always hit it at night,before. Fun! Beautiful drive.
Hit the Layton yard at exactly 15:00. Trainer asked the mechanics to take a look at the tires and the hood-hinge on the truck. Tires seem ok ("They all do that") and "we can't do anything about that hinge - it doesn't have any fittings for us to lube it". Oh well. Doing laundry (free!), then will hunt up a Wallgreens and reload my meds.
Did the meds thing - no problems. Ate dinner at La Choi on Main st. Not bad for a low-end Chinese restaurant. Went back to the yard and re-hooked to our trailer. Headed out of town, looking for someplace less hot where we can bed down.
Found a place in Malta, ID. Another abandoned - or at least, closed for the night - truckstop.
Was gonna take a shower at the Layton terminal.. one look at the bathroom and I opted to put it off for a day or so. I'm not Mr Finicky, but that place was not pleasant. I think it was last cleaned during the Truman administration. Not to mention, the shower was so small I'm not sure I could have turned around in it.
