First Trip!

This morning was 4 hours of BACKING! Again! But this morning was kinda fun, and Kim was getting really good with it! It started clicking and she's doing good! Straight line and offset (backing from one lane over to the next, and getting everything straight).
We had to run home at lunch and get our log books and get them updated. Our afternoon drive changed from Logan,UT to Evanstan, WY, Anytime you cross a state line, a logbook is required (or over 100mi from home base). We drove up past Park City, and on out to Wyoming. We got stopped at the port of entry and had to take all the truck/trailer paperwork inside. They checked the company DOT # in their computer and then let us go. No checking of our logs. We went on into Evanston and fueled up at the Flying J. Turned around and came back.
Driving down Parley's Canyon between Park City and Salt Lake was a learning experience. 6% grade and didn't touch the brakes. We both really had a good drive. Was nice to get out and drive instead of just thru the city traffic. Dealt with some construction areas and Utah state flowers (orange DOT barrels).
We are scheduled to drive Tues, Wed, Friday, and test out Fri afternoon. Getting close to the end!
