Guess I'll be out west a bit longer...loading in Montclair, CA for Woodland, CA. (LA to Sacramento)

Ok, shy of getting a damn good paying run, it's about time to get back across the Mississippi. Over 4 weeks west of Dallas driving and sightseeing. Of course now I'll probably get loads that are too good to turn down. Currently NW of LA but may head to San Diego area. SD and Denver seem to be...
