After Nashville I am heading to Texas. This is the famous Memphis pyramid, on I-40 at the Mississippi River.

Parallel parking

After making a delivery in Nashville, TN there was no place to park-so I got creative & put it between two poles.
I could not understand those poles-but I think they aproved.
I know I did.
After all this fun I met with Jason and ate breakfast.
Why did I not take pictures?
I don't know..

Sunrise

Home in Fresno, CA

I've been here in Fresno for four days now!!! Here's a welcome sight, these are stairs leading to our apartment. Do you know who is waiting for me here?

This picture is taken from across the street from our apartment. You can see our livingroom window on the second floor behind the truck.

This picture was taken from the balcony - back towards the street where the truck is parked.

Finally getting unloaded at Tropicana

After all the work getting here and going away and coming back..... It really didn't take that long to get unloaded - about three and a half hours on June 24th.


Once I finished here I was headed north to Fresno. Home, sweet home??? Well, my California home!

In Los Angeles - where Tim works

I made it to Los Angeles, spent many hours waiting at Tropicana in City of Industry, CA then met Tim at his work on June 23rd, about 6pm eastern time. I left the truck here and went with Tim to eat dinner, visit and catch a few hours of sleep before going back to Tropicana at 6am on the 24th.

West of the Mississippi

Well - I made it to Texas. Here I am in west Texas on June 20th. This picture was taken at 4:30pm still on Interstate 10 at mile marker 234, a rest area of course. I sleep by day and drive by the stars. I must have been real tired because another Bynum driver left me a "tag you're it" note. I left here about 10:45 pm eastern time.

I'm at the next rest area on June 19th in Louisiana, Interstate 10, mile marker 121. I arrived at 6:30am and left at 9:30pm. I slept most of the day, ate and socialized with other drivers that stopped in here too.
