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.

Hey, I think we were at that truck stop once. We delivered household stuff though - not game machines! :)

Hey, made a couple of changes on the front page of your blog. #1 - took the 'contributors' off. Not necessary. #2 - Added, Shelly & Ryan's blogs to your page!
