Big Rig Steve officially done for the day at safely parked at ❤️near Gustine California ( yes we have stopped here prior trips in CA) check website for previous truck stop locations map. BRS stopped for fresh coffee and as we were leaving “ parking spot opened at the perfect time and it was easy to get to. “ (note this did not make the stream as was dropped due to past 12 hours cut off.) BRS indicated a split clock will be needed in order to make our early am delivery appointment in the morning.
