Rapid City to Reno is a long drive. Not much to see driving west on I80...except trucks and trains. I80 is not a scenic drive but it's the fastest route when you've got to be somewhere by a certain date. Yesterday's fiasco was trying to get fuel at Pilot west of Elko, NV. The car pumps DID NOT have diesel. Diesel was only available at the truck pumps and, unfortunately, the truck pumps nozzles don't work for us. The nozzle is too big. By the time we had pulled in, jockey'd for position, dodge trucks, realized no diesel at the pumps, etc., etc. we determined we had to go across the street to a Texaco where every pump had diesel and there was no traffic to contend with. Of course, the price probably had something to do with it...$4.21/gal vs Pilot at $3.99. Wasn't much we could do but pay the price...we needed fuel.
I won't have any internet for the next few days. My service provider has to replace my router...has to do with roaming and the service is suspended until I get the new one.
We have a short (40 mile) drive today to Reno. Lucy gets to meet my niece's two dogs. Should be interesting. She's not fond of other dogs.
