OldTroubador's blog post - Portal to Portal

A conversation with Roxanne prompted me to do this. We had been PM-ing about some innocuous items and she asked where I was headed over the next few days. I told her, and then decided to keep a log of all the places I?ve been from time off to time off. So I started in Orange, TX on the 21st of October. I have logged up to the end of the run I am starting today, which will be in Laredo, TX on the 2nd of January. And I still have four weeks of running before I am off again. {Yeah there was no break at the beginning of December like there should have been. Let?s not go there please}
The towns listed are where I made my pick-ups/deliveries. Keeping track of all the truck stops would have been too much.
The total miles so far is about 32,500 when I hit Laredo. That is miles I actually ran, not paid miles (this will require another blog someday). I figure about another 10,000 ? 12,000 miles before I finish in January.
