Comming to a city near you

[Pat Kelly]

Next week(s) will be a long one.
Tues night to Paramount, CA. Wed morning I head to Rialto, CA. Taking that to Vidalia, GA.
Got some route planning to do this weekend. 5713 miles one way. Don't know yet what (company's) route will go through which cities/towns. Also don't know which way I'm comming home.

How sweet, yet sad. You travel within blocks of everyone, but can't take time to socialize. I understand: but how sad. I hope to ride with you again soon Pat.

Tentative itenerary

Wed the 20th, Rialto CA
Thr the 21st, Winslow, AZ (rest area near Meteor Crater) to Amarillo TX
Fri 22nd, Amarillo to Little Rock AR (hopeing to visit nephew I haven't seen in 15 years)
Sat 23rd to either Birmingham AL or Temple GA

Don't know the route back.

cell # (209) 484-4991

Most stops are at Flying J truckstops. I prefer rest areas as they are usually quieter.
Any areas I should watch (hwy patrol, county mountys, etc?) Speeding isn't a problem as I set my cruise to 59 MPH (bonus for staying under 60 MPH. $81 in this case).

Lots of miles there Pat...........just watch through that portion of Ariz...........LEO's around or near local communities seem to wanna generate more revenue than the norm........other than that, watch out for the unconscious cagers(have spent some windshield time in your seat) and rest of craziness that seems to show up unexpectedly!

[Pat Kelly]

Sitting in Amarillo, TX until midnight, then continue heading east. Will be in Little Rock, AR by noon on Fri the 22nd. Will have dinner with nephew (haven't seen him in 15 years).
No problems with speeding tickets. Speed limit is 75 and I go 59 ($ incentive to keep it under 60MPH). Snow was a PITA this morning (21st) from Winslow, AZ to Alburqurque, NM. Fortunately I outran the storm that was closing I40 & I17 in AZ.

Got to Vidalia, GA at midnight Sat (local time). Called 2 days ago with ETA and hours left that I can drive. They didn't know I was comming.
Now here I sit all day Sun and half of Mon (soonest I can leave). They said something about going to IL before going home. We'll see.
Still enjoying this.

[Pat Kelly]

Finally they are sending me out!
Tue the 26th I'm going to Greenville, SC and taking a load to Chicago, IL (Thr 28th). Then head down to Mt Sterling, IL to see if THEY can have a load for me heading the right direction.

I've been to Mt. Sterling Il. My spring ride went right thru that town on our way to Hannabil Mo. Hope you have a safe trip to IL. weather was nice this weekend but temps have dropped and is snowing about 100 miles west of the windy city.
