After the bags were packed, groceries bought, and my 18 year old was taken care of, Mark rolled thru town and I jumped on the truck. After getting settled in my seat and after slowing down for the first time in a week, I noticed my throat was sore and I really wasn't feeling good. Great!! Day one of vacation and I'm sick. Oh well, at least I can rest.
First destination was Valient, Ok., hauling cardboard to International Paper Company.
I never knew paper could stink so bad. Seriously, it was just paper, yet my nosehairs were burning. After doning said personal protective equipment, we were allowed into the plant. We made quite the fashion statement.
Unloaded, it was off to the nearest truckstop for a much needed shower, dinner, and downtime.
