Looks Like We Got Ourselves a Convoy

Loaded out at Sabre Galvanizing in Alvarado, Texas on the 14th, with a load of galvanized I beams bound for a solar project near Santa Margarita, California that wasn't going to deliver until Tuesday due to the MLK day holiday. We took our time to get to Buttonwillow, where we needed to meet the convoy. The road up to the site is very winding, and they had to shut the road down to opposing traffic while the convoy goes up. It was quite a drive. We couldn't leave until the convoy left, they were telling us it would be 3:00pm, which screwed us up for a partial load we were going to take to get us out to Terminal Island for a load on Wednesday.

Once we got down from the site, we spent the night up on top of the Grapevine, since we didn't want to go down into Long Beach until the morning.
