When we bought our newest truck we gave our extended cab truck to one of our sons. Now the truck doesn't run well, they have a different vehicle and don't want the truck anymore. We decided to take it

back; shouldn't be that bad.
check Checking around and because the truck is extended with a long bed/big box, we can't just use any car trailer, it must bbe a larger car trailer which, of course, is not readily available. Finally my husband found one for rent.

We st We started out this afternoon for a 10 hour drive to our son's house. Because the trailer is attached to our truck,  the ride is really bumpy so we are in for a 20 hour bumpy ride; great!

We st We opped for dinner at In-n-Our, ate and went on our way. We'd brought cash because north of In-N- Out is thech  cheapest diesel fuel in the state so we wanted to fill the truck tank full. We got to the station only to find that $6d di up and disappeared. After searching we finally decided that I must have dropped it at In-N-Out. We filled the tan ith tank with the cash we had, but I was so mad at myself.
Wee uWe nust cross a toll bridge to get to our son's house so before we got to the bridge we realized that we had no cash  cash at all  but we were sure that they would take a Visa. We got to the toll booth and told the collection guy
hat w said we needed to pay by Visa; guess what? No Visa, no checks only cash! But we could either pay a fine plus the toll the fee or go to the end of the bridge, cross over, return over the bridge all in 15 minutes, turn in the card he would gave us, then go get cash and return.

We w We went over the bridge and returned the card but in the meantime I'd GPS'd our bank. We didn't want to go to the  the bank at the bottom of the bridge as the area is not good so I GPS's another city. Well it took us right too where the casino we didn't want to be; plus the store door was locked, people were there we just couldn't go into the store to the ATM.

I pull    I'd looked up another bank on the GPS and it was in an area we knew. We started driving but at a main street I'd looked to my right and there was our bank. We quick pulled a right and then a left into the lot, all while pulling carrying this long trailer.

Fi         1-1/2 hours later we were able to cross the bridge for one last time and pick up where we turned off. What a night
