Thursday 22nd November:
We're on our way back to Wisconsin - slowly I might add.Things are going pretty good though. I survived the mountains and i'm not as nervous about them as I used to be so thats good.

We passed through area's with snow today!!! Mountain area's in Wyoming and Nebraska have some snow, and yes i did get photos. Its a sure sign that winter is almost here and for it to have arrived for Thanksgiving day is pretty cool. Yesterday when we were coming through Utah we saw little patches of snow, but not nearly as much as we've seen today. Word from the weather people is that Wisconsin has a bit of snow at the moment, but what remains to be seen is whether it'll be there when we get there.

This load was meant to be delivered on Friday but we're probably not going to make it until about midday on Saturday due to some issues at one of the shippers.

Got to see two new states this trip which made me happy - we've now seen Oregon and Idaho! Coming out of the hills in Idaho as the sun was rising was so beautiful, I wish my camera was able to capture stuff like that but it can't, and at least I got to experience it first hand, and that memory will stay with me. Oh and we got to drive through an Indian reservation in Nevada too! which was cool, it was about 3am so there wasn't really anyone around except the wildlife (saw a couple of wolves and a mouse who was running across the highway - he made it by the way).

Just parked up in North Platte, Nebraska and I was really happy when i realised there were snow flurries! Unfortunately they didn't stick around for long, but it was still pretty while it lasted.

Dinner was absolutely delicious tonight, the truck stop we're at was having a thanksgiving day buffet including turkey, baked ham, stuffing, mashed spuds, gravy (light and dark), mac n cheese, green beans, corn... just to name a few things. Then, the desert bar had this really yummy thing called "chocolate brownie overload" it was chocolate brownies, with fudge in the middle, topped with this white chocolate frosting and brown chocolate frosting... oooh it was good, but i could only manage part of a serving because it was so sweet. Pat ended up having bread pudding and this banana pudding thing which looked quite nice. It was so busy in there though, they had a big line of people waiting to be seated, and the poor waiter's and waitresses were run off their feet.


Sunday 25th November:
Made it back to Wisconsin fine, and even got to spend last night at the house doing laundry and catching up with house mates. It was fun. We played a little WoW, watched a bit of tv, had showers, did laundry and all that jazz then went to bed. Its a shame we couldn't be there longer but thats okay because we'll be back there in a couple of weeks.

Our next load is taking us to West Virginia, which is on the eastern side of America. Its kinda hilly with a few mountains thrown in for good measure, so it should be a beautiful sight over there at the moment.

I uploaded some of the photos i took to and from California to the laptop last night so i'll post them online a little bit later (the internet connection here isn't that great so it would take ages just to upload on of them). Hopefully we'll get a good signal at the place we're stopping at tonight. That was one of the things about going out to California, turns out the provider we use doesn't cover the west coast as well as we thought, oh well we didn't need to use it all that often while we were over there.

Oh when we were coming back from California we saw this amazing natural formation called "The Devil's Slide" I didn't manage to get a photo in time but I found a link to one online that I thought you'd like to see http://img.groundspeak.com/waymarking/display/6049c216-17ab-4eb2-9c8f-d1db78188eb5.jpg

I think i'm going to post this up now, and i'll put the photos i did take, up later tonight if we have a good connection - if not then i'll try for tomorrow :)

take care guys,
Love Corina xoxoxox
