Awesome pics Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep em coming! Looks like the little guy might be in the running for a trip to the toy store, cause I'm sure Daddy spoils him! :)

Jimmers

I can now see why some people love the open road so much. :)

Wonderful pics Johnny! Thank you!

~mel

btw, that little boy is just precious!! That face is enough to melt your heart...

Great pics! Thank you so much for sharing them. :)

Sanna

Donners Pass?

Didn't they have some kind of party there some years back???

Great pics Johnny. Almost makes me want to be a trucker. Almost ;)

It's good to see you take time to enjoy what most folks just drive by.

-Dennis-

Oh man, Johnny thank you for posting those pics. It totally brought to mind one of my favorite Hal Ketcham songs.

MAMA KNOWS THE HIGHWAY

Mama knows the highway by the songs
When she hears a good one, she always sings along
She don't ever worry 'bout what's gone
She says, "good country music will never steer you wrong

She talks to the truckers with the lights
Maybe just a little bit more on Saturday nights
She knows a good road to paradise
And that's just enough to keep the highway bright

Yeah,Mama knows the highway now by heart
She can see the rain before it starts
Looking clear through a windshield full of stars
Mama knows the highway now by heart

She can tell Wyoming by the wind
She can tell another trucker by the rig that he's in
She knows how to watch the river bends
She knows where the real South begins

Well, Mama knows the highway now by heart
She can see the rain before it starts
Looking clear through a windshield full of stars
Mama knows the highway now by heart

She can gauge a cafe just by looking at the sign
Little old places always share the grand design

Mama knows the highway now by heart
She can see the rain before it starts
Looking clear through a windshield full of stars
Mama knows the highway now by heart
Mama knows the highway now by heart
Mama knows the highway, yeah, yeah yeah

well it looks like I need to look into traveling to Montana!! That pic sold me!!!

Beautiful pictures, what a way to see the states!! I know it's a sacrafice though...your family loves you!!!

I dunno. It sorta looks like Lewiston (north of New Meadows) from the top of the hill coming into town to me... ;)

Gotta love those runaway truck ramps on the downhill side of the Lewiston grade--I always thought they looked like launching pads.

Awesome road pics, Johnny.

Best,

Nitpicker George

Great pics Johnny! I love the area out in New Mexico with the mountains all around the towns. The pics reminded me of this song....

Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh,
Rollin' down the Eastern Seaboard.
I've got my diesel wound up,
And she's running like never before.
There's a speed zone ahead, all right,
I don't see a cop in sight.
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.

I got ten forward gears,
And a Georgia overdrive.
I'm taking little white pills,
And my eyes are open wide.
I just passed a 'Jimmy' and a 'White':
I've been passin' everything in sight.
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.

Well, it seems like a month,
Since I kissed my baby good-bye.
I could have a lot of women,
But I'm not like some other guys.
I could find one to hold me tight,
But I could never believe that it's right.
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.

I.C.C. is checking on down the line.
I'm a little overweight and my log's three days behind.
But nothing bothers me tonight.
I can dodge all the scales all right,
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.

Well my rig's a little old,
But that don't mean she's slow.
There's a flame from her stack,
And the smoke's rolling black as coal.
My hometown's coming in sight,
If you think I'm happy your right.
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.

Go johnny go go.
all the best
and keep it tween the ditches.

Awesome pictures. Your little one is adorable. Stay safe out there.

Hugs,

Jen

thanks for checking out my pics. my cell phone was getting full and i had to clean it out.

the town in idaho was lewiston. it goes 4 lane were it winds down through the canyon. when you look down on that town it's like being in an airplane. the houses look like monopoly houses. montana makes you feel like a tiny speck in a huge land. the mountains there are ridiculously big and way far apart. lots of long rolling hills. the people that live there are some of the nicest, coolest people i've ever met.

satellite radio has some good old country channels. some good ole truck drivin music really compliments the scenery.

truck driving is a kind of drug i guess. once you get a taste for the open road it's hard to get away from. i've been around it my whole life i'll see were it takes me. hopefully someday i'll be set up good enough to be an agent and hang around the house a little more. right now i'm tickled to death just to have a job. the trucking industry is in a bit of a slump right now.

Thanks for taking the time to take and share the pics with us. That speedo shot makes me a little nervous, but you know what you are doing. :)

Seeing that I have never been to the US this is one way I can travel and see the different states. ;)

Love the pictures!! You certainly do get around, Sir... :)

And the precious 'little guy'!! What a cutie!!!

Thanks for the pictures...

Jackie

Cool pics Johnny. Thanks for sharing them.

Your little guy sure is a cutie.

Beth :)

Thanks for the great pictures!

A Mail Pouch sign........It's been a passel of time since I saw one of those things. Neat. 8-)

Charlie

Geeze, it is too bad that you work keeps you so busy, that you can't do some traveling around ... Heehee ..

It looks like the most of your territory is in the western states, with a few back east here. If you ever get to eastern North Carolina, I BETTER get a call from ya! I know a nice place ta eat, that is jes a'waitin' fer ya ta show up! (HELL no, not my house! - - PB&J is about the most ya kin find THERE to eat!)

Thanks for sharing! (It looks like you changed phones, after the first batch of pictures)

i run out east too. they send me just about everywhere. if i get down your way i'll give ya a holler ;)

Johnny, I told you you've got to quit that stuff! I'm trying hard to be happy staying home! (I am happy being home, but you are making me really miss the road!)

I remember that pic from Utah! That is a sculpture of a tree made up of orbs, with a couple of "broken" ones on the ground. It sits on the Bonneville Salt Flats just west of Salt Lake City. In the sunlight the salt is almost blinding.

That shot from MM66 in Wyoming is great too! It is like that all the way from there to Green River. Bare and dry, but beautiful.

I really enjoyed driving across Montana on the Hi-Line (Hwy 2) just south of the Canadian border. There is a spot out there that I tried to get to at night, because you could see for about 50 miles any direction and on a clear night you could not see a man made light anywhere! The starlight (without the moon) was so bright you could make out words on a page. Not quite enough to read by, but close. I'd just sit and enjoy the stillness and solitude for about 30 minutes before starting back up and rolling.

Thanks for the memories.

Jerry

us 2 huh. i've never been up that way. your one up on me there jerry . ;) i was on us 191 out in arizona though. north of that mine it was impassable for trucks and had to head back south to i 10 then north on i25 in los cruces. us 191 runs runs into lnto lewiston where the bbz live. i haven't been on that stretch either but i'm still a greenhorn. i'll get up that way eventually. driving in montana reminds me that i am a tiny tiny spec here on gods green earth.

oh almost forgot

i80 rolling back east in wyoming bout the same place
