Scenic route

We got our assignment about noon. We were to deadhead down to Centralia, Wa to a Michaels distribution center for a 8 o'clock pick up the next morning. It was all of 75mi, so we went to the Flying J about 20mi south of where we were for the nite. Got our showers, dinner, and got to reset our 70hr duty week. If we get 34 consective hours off, we can start over on the week. We are only able to work 70hrs in a 8 day period. When you start running lots of miles, you have watch that.
The nex morning we left early and got to the center about 6:30 and dropped our trailer and got a loaded one. We are headed to New Lenox, Ill. It is south of Chicago a little just off I-80. Michaels is a hobby store so as expected, this is a light load, about 17,000lbs. My concern was with weather, and going over Cabbage Hill in Oregon, and across Wyoming. We dropped down on I-5 to Portland and picked up I-84 across Oregon and Idaho. Roads were in good shape, and weather was fine. We got to see some gorgeous scenery following the Columbia river across Oregon. Will try to post some pics soon. From there on down thru Ogden, Ut, and out on I-80. By te time we got to Rawlins, the road was getting patchy with ice and picked up some winds so we shut down a few hours till daybreak.
We are now just past Cheyenne at a TA Truckstop. Operations notified us we need to get a DOT inspection while enroute. So here we sit till they can run us thru a bay. Shouldn't take too long, just hope they adjust our time of delivery.
