Albuquerque?
You sure? I see some green in that grass.
I have never seen green grass in Albuquerque, except in well watered lawns.
Maybe that just happens for a few days in the spring.

Be VIGILANT about security on your truck. Thieves are going around stealing the truck, trailer and all. My nephew lost everything they owned a few months ago.

Happy trails to you, and stay safe.

Yes, x2!!! Do not let the rig get out of your sight while you're on the road! Theft of moving trucks/contents is on the rise everywhere, not just in the USA, either. Hoping and praying that you two have a safe, uneventful trip my friend.

how would they steal the truck if its locked? By the way I am in Oklahoma city OK tonight.

 

[Big_kid]

I'm a locksmith. Locks only keep honest people honest. Just please be vigilant about it, I'd hate to see it happen again.

 

[Rod's Trucks]

That looks like a nice rig. What kind of fuel mileage are you getting?
I am assuming it is diesel, what does fuel cost in that part of the country?
Prices around Western Washing range from just over $3 to $3.75 for regular gasoline now, and climbing.

Safe Travels Mark!

 

[markmitch]

Its a 2021 GMC and it runs on gasoline. I have not figured out what it gets yet I just fill it every time I stop even to pee just to keep it rolling. I am now in Memphis Tn. Should be in VA this time tomorrow night then NH Saturday night.

 

[Big_kid]

Headed up I81 or I 95? 81 is a TREACHEROUS road, the big rigs will run you off the road. Like Sgt Esterhaus used to say: Be careful out there.

 

[dcsleeper]

wave when you go past Roanoke Rapids, NC

Godspeed!

 

[markmitch]

I am in Bristol Va tonight last night till we get to NH -we are leaving at 5 am on I 81 to get to NH before dark if possible. If not then either way we will be there by this time tomorrow night hopefully. So far I 81 has been kinda light on traffic so hopefully it stays that way. No internet at my NH home so it may be a few days after that before I can report in. Mark

how would they steal the truck if its locked?...

You're serious...right?
For the 1st time in 6 years, I am near speechless.

 

[markmitch]

Ok we pushed on and made it to New Hampshire from the Tennessee ? Virginia border a little after midnight. Beat , tired, sore and my head hurts so I am off to bed. Thanks for the well wishes. By the way six six I was referring to how would they steel a truck that is locked and has a chip key and is parked under the parking lot lights and cameras.

 

[Bossman]

Markmitch,
Glad you made it safe. Take care, & get some rest.

Haha, mark, you are so sweet and so... so... so naive. Just what the gypsies look for.
Google it... you won't be quite as ... aah, howyousay? ... giving.
Be it so inadvertent.
