Evanston, WY

Made it in to Evanston this evening. They had a high of 44 degrees today and now is raining. The trip across I-80 today was stunning. With the recent rains and melting snow from the winter, the ground is unusually green all the way across the state. The low temperatures coupled with the beautiful mostly cloudy skies was breath taking. Everything fell in to place to make it a nice trip. It is getting down to around 39 degrees tonight, danged wonder it don't snow. I don't care for that after the winter just went through. Snow in middle of June would just about cap it.

Every year during the first or second week of June, the U. S. Department of Transportation has a 72 hour Blitzkrieg. They have every state set up inspections across the country to inspect trucks for 72 hours straight. It will start at midnight on a Monday night and go through Thursday midnight. I left home Tuesday as it was kicking off, went from Tyler down to New Orleans, to Slidell, LA and all the way to Evanston and passed 14 scale houses and only crossed 4 scales that were open and none of them were doing inspections. I guess they were concentrating somewhere else. Didn't bother me any. It is over for another year and things are back to abnormal.

I will leave here early in the morning and make it to Pendleton, OR tomorrow afternoon and then on in to Portland Sunday morning.
