Pounded the Interstate today for 757 miles to Casper, WY. It 50° this morning, and 95° this afternoon. We ran through a few cooling showers which was nice!

I’d love to Stan but I’m afraid we told Gloria that we would have Greg home tomorrow! We need an easy day tomorrow.

Population 2, not incorporated Mick. Very small, low tax base.

Evening Woods. We left Edmonton at 1 pm today. What should have been a 5.5 hour drive, turned into 8 hrs. We had the luxury of watching a tanker get doused with water and foam, hoping it doesn’t explode. Luckily, the Fox Creek fire dept were able to extinguish the burning tanker without incident. The driver had enough time to unhook for the trailers without incident. We then had to wait for another tank unit to show up to offload the damages trailer. The product…gasoline.
The tires on the trailer were completely burnt off while the pup tires were still good. I figured the lead trailer either lost air and dynamited the brakes while the air tank on the pup helped from dynamiting those brakes. If it was a brake pot malfunction, I could see one side burning up, but not the other.
Anyways, was a long wait.
