Last night we spent a night at the Elk's lodge in Springfield. Guess what? 50 amps and dinner. Also music in the parking lot in front. This also allowed us a 1.5 mile walk thru the neighborhood.
As always, Elk's are great place to stop, if it is allowed. Below are photos of the Wooly burger we purchased. Enough for 2 people, 2 dogs for 2 days.
So, what have we seen. Well today we saw a graveyard for boats wrapped in condoms.
Oh, sure you comment, you just stop and go into a fast-food-joint.
Not DaGirls, this morning, Susan made me pancakes, while I drove. Then I found a suitable place, I pulled over, walk the puppies, and then Susan drove. Then while she drove, I had some pancakes. Yum.
Course these were left-over pancakes from the freezer, however, easily warmed up in the toaster. Toaster you say. You can't do that. Well yes we can, as there are 2 ways of doing this.
1. Generator on - which we do use while driving to cool the Rv.
2. Pure Sine Wave (PSW) , inverter, which allows up many options to cook while rolling-on.
Example: Crock-Pot, Instant-Pot ( which we do not have), making Coffee, Toaster, and Microwave (power 80 to 50%) are just a few examples.
We do love our PSW.
But we also like to pull over and smell the roses, as to what's the rush. Yes I know there are many Control-Freaks. But what's the rush, if not for yourself, do it for your Co-Pilot sitting next to you. It really makes no sense in driving 70 mph, rushing to the next destination. Either you have a place or you dry-camp for the night.
As Wayne stated "I want ti Do It All".
So, what's it like driving during the Covid-19 pandemic? Well, not much has changed. What do you mean? Well, at truck stop's. Except for New Mexico, there have been no rules on wearing masks. Most employees do not, and many truckers do not.
However, some people are trying to stay the 6ft distance and not staying long next to anyone. Unless of course they travel together or know each other very well. It is one of those number's game.
Example: The average deaths in the USA is around 8000 people. This accounts for everything, except for Covid-19. As of today, 96,000 people have died due to Covid-19, since Feb. If all the deaths stopped today, that would be 264 additional lives lost per day.
All facts can be verified with the CDC website.
The biggest issue is the rate of infections and severity of infection. You can go from no symptoms, small symptoms, hospital room, ICU and then Nasogastric intubation.
So, let's all just be careful while we go outside, think of the other person.
