Doreen's standing at the front of a paddle boat on the river that runs through Savannah, GA. This was also the same weekend, while we were waiting for our next load, we took an awesome trolly tour through downtown Savannah.
Once while getting the bent tie-rod one our truck fixed, along with two new steer tires and an alignment up in Mass, we went to the NBA Basketball Hall of Fame. Coolness!
While waiting to load in Las Vegas, NV - we took in some sights. Up at the top of the Stratosphere, (Kind of like the Space Needle in Seattle, WA) we rode the roller coaster called the High Roller. Very tame. (FYI - just found out that coaster is no longer there. They removed it and replaced it with two other wild looking rides. Interesting!)
THEN, we went on the Big Shot. It shot us straight up 160 feet (from the top of tower) at 45 mph (over 4 Gs) until we were 1,081 feet above the Strip. THAT was a ride to remember!!!
Here I am standing in the middle of Fort Sumter, near Charleston, SC where the Civil War began. It was awesome because you could still see rusted artillery embeded in the walls. Living History!!!
On some trip somewhere, Doreen gave me a bit of a break, driving on her 'learners permit' so I could take a bit of a nap! She did great handlin' that big old beast!!!
Here we needed a jump. We'd spent the weekend with Doreen's Grandma M in Wildwood, GA and when we got back out to the truck to head to our next destination, the truck was completely dead. (Turns out we figured out later we had to replace 3 of the 4 batteries. Oh well!) This guy pulled us forward, I popped the clutch while the truck was in 4th gear and we were good to go - as soon as he put us down and unhooked the truck and disconnected his airline! :)Well, hope you've enjoyed these pics from our memories. Just randomly chose a few. Believe me, I could put a TON more photos up!!!
Anyway, look for my next set in the future. They'll be from our 'post trucking' era!
