Sand Mountain

I found this sand mountain in Southern California on Interstate 8 between Yuma AZ and San Diego. Almost enough to fill a sandbox, don't you think!

Columbia River Gorge, Oregon

Mount Shasta

Next Installment

Hi gang. Hope all is well with everybody. I went to Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Southern California, back to Oregon then home in the last 10 or 12 days. Long drive considering California and Oregon speed limit is 55 MPH for trucks. Saw a bunch of really pretty country. Found some really pretty flowers in the Arizona desert. Mount Shasta and Lake Shasta in Northern California are really pretty. The Columbia river gorge is very pretty right now as well. Just a few pictures to help you enjoy them too.

Hi Gang

Last week was a busy week. I picked up a load of Malt-O-Meal cereal in Tremonton, UT. and took it to Portland TN, just South of Bowling Green KY. When I unloaded in Portland I headed to Dyersburg TN where I picked a load of cat litter and delivered it to Dollar General in Fulton MO. My next load was picked up in Kansas City KS. A load of empty Pizza boxes to be delivered in Denver, CO. When I unloaded in Denver I could not get the next load until the next day, so I spent a while with the Thompson gang. The boys are growing up. Jenny actually bought hamburger and made a really yummy Shepards Pie for dinner, and oatmeal pancakes for breakfast. Really good Jen. Thanks for all to the Thompson's. Picked up a load of empty Shasta pop bottles to bring to Salt Lake City. Then home to spend Sunday with my sweetie. While I was in Fulton MO we found this really friendly Canadian Goose. I also met some new friends this week. Mike and Letticia. He drives for LW Miller as well, she was just riding. They have a dozen grandkids. I had dinner with them one evening. They are about our age. Neat folks. That's about it for the week. Take care all. Be Good. Love each other. I love you all.

JEFFERSON DAVIS MONUMENT

This is the Jefferson Davis memorial monument in Western Kentucky. I drive past this monument every time I take a load to Portland Tennessee. Kids and grand kids assignment; Who was Jefferson Davis? What did he do? Why would this monument be here in his memory? Does anything he did affect us today? Talk about this in your families please. Gramps
