A Loooong Day

Damp and misty as we fell out of bed at the ridiculously early hour  of 0730! After breakfast I headed outside to connect up the trailer and disconnect the utilities while Lyn worked on the inside. We were on the road by 0845, and not too sure what to expect. We had about 100 kms. of cross country travelling to do to get tho the storage area, and the map suggested there were a number of windy mountain roads. There were a couple of spots where I was thankful there wasn’t too much traffic and was able to swing out into the oncoming lane to get around a couple of tight curves, but apart from that it was OK.

We got the trailer backed in and parked pretty quickly, filled in the paperwork and were back on the road again within 30 minutes. Again we had a few twists and turns to negotiate before hitting the I-80 about 75kms down the road. Without the trailer on the back we could travel fairly well at about 55 MPH for the trip. Once on the I-80 we cruised along just under 70 MPH, and will stay on this road until reaching Chicago on Monday.

Most of the trip was over the high desert, climbing up to 7200 ft at the highest point, average height was around 4500 ft. Now it’s time to get some shut eye and do it all over again tomorrow.
