It was an interesting travel from Las Vegas, NV to Aurora, CO. We experienced vast temperature differences. From 80 degrees to 43 degrees in Vail, CO. On the way, I-70 follows the Colorado River for miles. As we drove, I noticed that the water was running very fast and the color of the water was reddish brown. There were rafters that looked as if they were enjoying the experience
I wouldn't be in that cold water.

On our way we saw this old VW bus. Going up the hill the bus would go slower than the 18 wheeler carrying 42 thousand pounds. I think the occupants were retracing their grandparents trip.
They were on an adventure, that is for sure.
When we arrived in Aurora, we were to deliver at a grocery warehouse. King Soopers. It took the guard 35 minutes to even check the truck in the gate. Then when we were at a door for them to unload the freight, it took them 4 hours to unload the trailer and on top of that, they charged $215.00 to unload the trailer. It is called a lumper fee. The company that is receiving the freight is charging to unload the freight that they ordered. Now does this make sense? I don't think so.
On to the next destination. We won't know until tomorrow. |
