Went back to the truck next morning and Jan & I were sat in the cab chatting and a familiar face appeared next to us. Jonny Goulding drives 3059 and we hadnt seen him for a while, Christmas in fact when we sank a bottle of Jack Daniels between us and made fools of ourselves at pingpong.
Well Jonny was heading down to Sutherlin in Oregon with some Pinto Beans so we decided it was convoy time again. I said my goodbyes to Jan and waved her off then we grabbed some fuel and headed east for Crows Nest Pass and Eastport into Idaho.
Just short of Cranbrook Jonny got pulled in at the scales for a routine level 3 (paperwork check) so i trundled on a few miles then pulled over to wait. He must have been only in there 5 mins as he soon came round the corner and pulled in at the turnout.
I made up some popcorn and offered Jonny a bag, as you can see he got quite atatched to it, well till the contents had gone anyway.
The border crossing was pretty unaventfull and we parted company at Ritzville when he turned south and i carried on west to Moses Lakes.
