By 6:30 am, as we pulled in to Baker City, the sun had shattered the sky like a baseball through a window, turning the grey-purple night clouds into wispy shards of golden light. It was a spectacular morning that few on the bus were awake enough to notice. Baker City was cold, with snow on the surrounding hilltops. The temperature perfectly matched the cold turkey sandwich that served as breakfast. The hot coffee was a welcome addition.
To make a very long trip short, i finally arrived in Salt Lake City at 6 pm Sunday. A handful of guys were there to catch the shuttle to the CR England facility, which was a short 10 minutes away, just outside of the downtown area. We registered and i was assigned a "room" -- one of four guys billeted to quarters that were actually SMALLER than my college dorm room was. Enough room for two spare metal bunkbeds, and four small lockers for valuables.
Tomorrow we start at 6 am. Apparently we take the written Commercial Drivers License test within the first couple days, so i should sign off and study a bit before turning in.
This is going to be an interesting three weeks....
Safe travels everyone.
