Things are picking up.

Well, left Montreal with a trailer for Calgary but it would be far too easy for me to take that one so I did a switch in the Winnipeg yard with another trailer bound for Calgary ??? Highlights of the last few days are not only did I see 3 moose but also a black bear, sadly I wasn't quick enough with the camera so you will have to believe me.
Reset in Calgary and due to the truck not having a tripak the batteries had shut down and I ended up throwing all of my food from the fridge into the trash, what a waste. I really am beginning to think that the addition of another battery pack isn't such a good idea.
I was initially planned to run to Iowa but when I started the truck that had been changed to California so I picked up the trailer from the meat plant, crossed the border and headed south. The following night I parked at Nephi Utah and managed to get my first photos of lightning, I was very pleased.
I have to say that the weather is great, if not a little bit to warm. Today the temp hit 41c which you don't really notice with the air con on until you step outside and it hits you.
Stopped for lunch today at the Gold Strike casino, $6.99 for an all you can eat buffet so I pigged out on oven baked Tilapia with a butter and herb sauce, fried rice, stir fried chicken and a piece of lemon meringue to finish.
I also stopped at Peggy Sue's 50's Diner for a vanilla shake as well as to take some pics.
Parked at Barstow now with a 110 mile drive into LA in the morning. I hope the aircon holds up for the night, its 9pm and its still 35c.

Caught another "Woops" moment because I know you like them.
