quick update

Well we've been on a non stop flyer now since i last posted. We tipped Nebraska and reloaded about an hour away with medical supplies to go to Toronto. So we got loaded the same day and cracked on, after about 2 hours we were getting near Des Moines in Iowa when the sky went really black, then it started. A full on thunder storm,it got so bad we had to stop on the shoulder. When i put the weather channel on the cb, they were saying we were right in the middle of it. The winds were 80mph and stones and bits of trees was blowing from across the other side of the interstate, so we went and sat on the bed in case the windscreen got smashed. Anyway after that excitment we got to Toronto, tipped and then picked up a load of macdonalds chicken nuggets to go to Vancouver. So we hammered that across and got told to drop it in Calgary and pick up a load of bread to go to BC with 2 drops on, Kelowna and Delta. From Delta we picked up chocolate for Calgary, ran that back to a repacking company in Calgary. Were having a 24 hour break at the moment, then tomorrow were picking up from the repacking company to go back over the mountains to Vancouver. We've got three days booked of at the end of next week so i think this is what we'll be doing until then, which is good, we both enjoy being in the rockies.
