4500 Pound Adventure

Enjoying the Halloween party wasn't the only thing I did Halloween weekend...P and I decided to try our hand at selling some apples to people here in our current town. 4500 pounds worth of apples. It was risky, and made for an extremely busy week, but nevertheless, it was a BIG success...and we will be doing it again next year, and plan to make it bigger!

So, my MIL and I had a six-state weekend (I drove through UT, AZ, NV, WA, OR, ID, then back to UT within a matter of 2 days) to get the apples here.

Here is a bit of the adventure in pictures:

Flying on Allegiant air...
sporting my *ahem* poorly styled new haircut.
(its an awesome haircut, seriously! I just wish I could style it as well as my SIL does when she cuts it for me...she is a hair arteest for sure!)

A sea of clouds.

Just before leaving, we got a pic of Mom, Dad and I in front of the apple hauling rig :)
(Thanks for letting us crash for the night! We had a lovely time!)

Me and my MIL, just before leaving
(she made a great companion for the whole trip!)
We were excited to get almost 15 miles to the gallon in this hog.
Yes.
Believe it.
It is an awesome truck.
There's no way you could get me to do
15 mpg's
while hauling 4500 pounds of anything!

A snapshot of the arduous process my MIL and I went through of boxing and selling the apples.
I'm just glad it took less than 3 days to get rid of all 4500 pounds of them. Now, if i could just figure out the easiest way to get the truck back up there, and me back down here...
