“Good food, new friends”

Sugar coated mountains…
We met the lovely @DakotaGal at ‘Guadalajara’s Mexican Restaurant’. A favorite of mine, MBB and I discovered it 9 years ago while taking my ‘New’ little black truck, towing a flatbed with my gunsafe, and his ‘new’ (new to him’ Harley trike to his place in Eastern Washington.
The ‘Right’ side of the state in more ways than one.

I went off diet and ate Mexican, sort of. I had Carne Asada (steak), a chicken burrito, with two and a half Chiles Rellenos. The chile peppers and the tortilla on the burrito were my only carbs.

I took two pictures of the ‘Black Hills’ dusted with snow. They look as though they were dusted with sugar.
They are called the black hills because Ponderosa pine trunks are black when they are young, making the hill sides appear black.

It’s snowing…
It was a mix of snow and rain for the last two hours of driving.
Since I’ve gotten older and wiser, I absolutely hate driving in the rain. Especially with the rig.
I can ‘feel’ the trailer slide in curves, and my truck by itself has a ‘light ass’, I’ve gotten it ‘sideways’ on three different occasions. While I can drive well, getting sideways in it, can make you get religion.

Pictures: you can see the snow in the second picture
