A bunch of useless crap
Published on June 25, 2007 By MasonM In Blogging
When I woke this morning I still had about 130 miles before I was out of Nebraska. That is one looong state. I got up early, grabbed some coffee, and started hammering for the Wyoming line. I made one quick pit stop about half way across WY and didn't stop again until I pulled up to the gate at Hill Air Force Base in Ogden, UT around 2:30 in the afternoon.

I got the snow broom and truck unloaded and then head North for the little town of Logan, UT. I am supposed to be picking up some signs outside of this town tomorrow morning and have to deliver them first thing Thursday morning in El Paso. At least I'll get some rest tonight before beating feet to the South.

The antelope were plentiful along the interstate as I drove through WY. No problems with their populations. It's a rugged, pretty country but I am not sure I'd want to live there in the Winter. Brrrrrr.

Utah is a pretty state. Very rugged and some beautiful painted canyons and mountains that just suddenly shoot straight up from the ground. For the most part the roads follow the canyons and passes through the mountains. Most of the time you're either going up, down, and/or around a curve.

Trying to shoot pictures or video while driving these roads in a big rig would be an exercise in stupidity and would almost certainly result in the changing of the rig's shape in some manner or other. Hopefully I'll get a chance to stop and shoot some nice pics of the canyons while I am heading South tomorrow.

For now I am going to get some much needed rest.

You were up the street from me, about two miles, and didn't stop by to say hi.

You're tacky and I hate you.

I was always impressed with Utah.  It is a state cut from a rock, by a half drunk diamond cutter.  And that is what makes it so beautiful.  I have been to Wyoming, but just for a very brief spell, and was not able to take in the sights.  Maybe I should go out again some day.

As for your destination, Give a shout out to Chris and Rose.  Our Trivia hosts.

Yeah I've done a small bit of hiking and camping in the painted canyons. Beautiful country for taking a hike.

It does sound like a beautiful place! I hope you do get to take some pictures and show us. Enjoy that sleep!

It was pretty warm today. I delivered the electronic billboards in El Paso this morning and picked up some construction machinery in Albuquerque this afternoon. Albuquerque was definitely on the warm side.

Forgot to make that left, eh Bugs?

And it's a stinky town, too. Smells kinda like butt.

Well if you made a pit stop almost halfway through the state...that means you stopped in my town, lol. Would have been great to meet you had I known you were coming through (well that and I was actually up in MN at the time...but if I wasn't....)
