Life Day 21529: Circle City Confusion

June 22, 2006 on 5:29 pm | In On The Road |

Monday, June 19th, 2006. After I arrived at the Shipper in Rio Rico yesterday evening, I discovered that the load to Forsyth, IL was not there. After an hour of confusion, that load was cancelled, and I accepted a load to Indianapolis, IN. I then drove to Lordsburg, NM where I stopped for the night. This morning, I left at 1000 and drove to Las Cruses, NM where I took a quick break for fuel. From there, I drove to Mescalero, NM. Until I reached the junction of US-70 and US-54, I had no idea which route I would take.


I had lunch and strolled through the Casino. At 1630 I left and drove to Texico, NM. I let the MMM out for a short stroll. From Texico, I drove to Amarillo, TX where I stopped for the night.
On Tuesday, I left Amarillo at 1000 and drove to Oklahoma City, OK. I took a long break here for a shower, lunch, and fuel. I left at 1730 and drove to Joplin, MO. After a short break, I drove to St. Robert, MO where I ended my day.
On Wednesday, I left St. Robert at 1000. I drove to Sullivan, MO for fuel and breakfast. Directly across from where I parked I saw this wreckage.

When I inquired inside, I was told that the fire occurred almost a month ago. As I walked back to my truck a while later, the wrecker had arrived to haul it off at long last.

I’d bet it caused a lot of excitement. Glad I wasn’t there.
At noon, I departed Sullivan and drove directly to Indianapolis, IN. I settled in at the Flying J.
Today, I just vegged and geeked all day. About 1300, his squall blew though.

This was after only about 5 minutes. It lasted another 15 minutes, then discipated.
