I'm getting paid to do this. Ha. I had my first taste of mountain driving today as we came into Tennessee from North Carolina on I-40. Just west of Lake Junaluska is a steep up-grade that took me about 10-15 minutes to ascend going 30mph in 7th gear. Oh yeah, our gross weight is over 75k lbs on this load. Okay, so going up isn't too difficult-you put it in a gear that will pull up the hill and keep the pedal down.
So, there is one good thing about going back to Alabama...getting out. We found out this morning that we're picking up a load in AL going to AZ. Since this is my first road trip out West, I'm pretty excited. In addition to the scenery, I'll get some major driving time without all the loading/unloading.
Well, we've stopped for the night, so I'm going to try to get some sleep.

don't get lost in the desert!
Do you go through Texas? If so, please stop at the Alamo and pick up my stolen bike. It's in the basement.
