Weird Trip

Last night we stayed at Super 8 in Nebraska City, Iowa ( Nebraska/Iowa border). The rain had quit by then. This morning we went across the street to Sapp Brothers Truckstop for breakfast then left to deliver Joe's trucks.

We arrived in Omaha, Nebraska about 10:30 and were done with our delivery by 11:15. Just down the street were two more trucks going to Sioux City, Iowa.

This is the weird part. We were not given an address to get the trucks, just a phone number. Then we weren't given an address for delivery. Just Taylor/Martin Auction in Sioux City, Iowa. After more questions I found out we were supposed to find Atokad County Fair. My iPhone didn't like that name. I finally searched for "Fairgrounds Sioux City, IA" and it is called "Dakota County Fair". In searching further I find Atokad Fair is Dakota spelled backwards.

We finally found the place. An old horse race track that is now the County Fairgrounds. Taylor-Martin Auctions take up residence there at least once a year.

While we were delivering there were several trucks that came in after us. There was also a prospective buyer up in one of the trucks, delivered earlier, checking out the fit. Someone may have heavy competition come auction day if this guy is a serious buyer.

At any rate we are done and on our way home to get the insurance crap started for our theft. Tonight it is back to the Super 8 in Nebraska City.
