7. My envy is showing a little.

I spent 40 years in a cubicle, thinking occasionally about the open road.

10. There is nothing, IMHO, like the open road,

not only does she get paid, she gets to see America like it's supposed to be seen.

12. I'm really enjoying being able to vicariously live through your reports about your granddaughter. Please keep it up!

[MarineCombatEngineer]

14. Will do.

She's due home next week for her 70 Hour DOT reset, after that, we'll see where we go from there.

13. The fog along central California would also be a challenge.

Follow the line on the road and watch for tail lights.

15. I remember hitting fog so thick on 99 in central CA that I couldn't see, literally, 5' in front of me,

at that point, I found the nearest off ramp and parked until the fog had burned off.
It's scary as hell not knowing what's in front of you until you're just about to kiss the rear bumper of a vehicle in front of you, especially when hauling 80,000 lbs. of product behind you.

16. Yup, that's the route. I don't recommend it.

At least the weather here in Ont. CA is clear and warm tonight for your Granddaughter. I wish her safe journeys with all scales closed on her route.
