Truck stop, Game machines and Cowboys

We stayed at the TA truck stop in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is one of the truck stops Larry the cable guy visited on his video tour of truck stop activities. We picked up 30 game machines in Las Vegas and took them to a casino in the high desert, Warm Springs, Oregon (oops. . . I might have given away the answers to the previous post - the one with the picture of Mt. Hood and Crown Point near Portland, Oregon).

Anyway, we took the game machines to KahNeeTah casino. One of the guys unloading the machines was enamored with our truck and called it the truck "sports model." I thought that was a good description. What do you think?

On the way to Portland, as we were going through the hills, we saw an old fashioned cattle drive coming right up the road. There were 6-8 cowboys riding horses wearing their chaps, big hats, scarves around their necks and maybe even pistols. They were herding 60-100 cows right up the road and we had to go real slow as the cows passed us by. I really wanted a picture but couldn't get one since I was driving and Sandra was looking and the camera was put away.

Guess where we are

We just passed this way yesterday. The bottom picture is Crown Point. Do you know what state we are in? Maybe the top picture will help. This is your geography lesson for today!

We are getting new thermostats for our truck. It was running cold and we need the heat to keep warm and to clean off the winshield.

Painting Inside The Big Truck

Sandra and I just took a whole month off work. Here is one of the reasons. I completely refinished the freight box of the big truck. The top picture is after repainting and after the equipment has been put back into place.
The bottom picture is the same except that the bulkhead has been painted and placed back into place in front of the equipment.

It's lots of work but I get a lot of comments on the organized, nice looking truck.
