Title: Finishing this trip to the West

Big Rig Travels broadcast day began at 7:46 MST near Bushnell, NE, still waiting for completion of tire repair.  We had spent the night on the on-ramp.  No issues, no one bothered us.  The TA repair person arrived on the scene at 9:22 MST to complete the repair that was not able to be finished the night before.  The issue appeared to be the rim that would not allow the tire to seal up properly.  

Back rolling at 9:53 MST onto I-80 west.

Welcome to Wyoming at 10:01 MST near Pine Bluffs.

No bypass at the Cheyenne port of entry.  Needed to stop and go in and show updated insurance paperwork at 10:31 MST.

Stopped at the Pilot near Cheyenne, WY at 10:44 MST for coffee.

Arrived at the Loves, near Wamsutter, WY at 14:20 MST.  BRS was able to do the trifecta: fresh coffee, hot dogs with onions and a 30 minute break.

BRS points out the upcoming Green River tunnel on I-80 at 16:13 MST.  The Blue Comet horn salutes the tunnel as we roll through.

BRS stopped at a truck pull off parking area at 16:33 MST near Little America, WY, needing to warm up his coffee in the microwave which may or may not have turned into a mess.

Welcome to Utah at 17:50 MST, our third state for the day.

BRS points out, up on a dark overpass at 19:06 MST, a big yellow Big Rig Steve Road Crew flag.  Assuming Bronco Willy was behind it.  The only question is, what hat was he wearing tonight?
