    A pretty major winter storm just hit the northeast so I've been off for two days. Back to work tomorrow. Keep doing what you do, Shelby. Stay safe out there! As Dave over at Smart Trucking says, "Keep the rubber side down and I'll see ya on the backhaul."

    When you live here you kind of forget/take advantage of what you have in your own backyard. I’ve been on the ferry multiple times, it’s one of my favorite things. My husband had never been 😱 So I fixed that last summer. I can’t wait until I take him the the San Juan’s. Happy Trucking :) Stay safe.

  • @ronnieterry9275

    Loved these two videos about the ferry ⛴ experience! It's so beautiful out on the water (but very chilly). I absolutely loved the camera work and beauty shots - thanks so much - it feeds my starving outdoor soul that is stuck in suburbia. I didn't know much about ferries until I lived on the coast of Maine. Portland Harbor has a mail boat you can ride as a passenger around the chain of islands, and you can hop off and on if you want to do a day trip and explore. Lots of summer homes on the islands as well. There are also ferries further up the coast that go to a couple islands further out, and there is a high-speed hydrofoil ferry to Nova Scotia that takes just under 4 hrs for the transit.
    One interesting tidbit is that you don't need to have registered vehicles on the islands of Maine. There are rolling heaps that'll be sitting by the docks to drive tourists to lodgings, pick up supplies, etc. that are missing chunks of bodyparts, bumpers, or lights, and it's perfectly ok. A bit freaky if you don't know about it beforehand! You get the smirk and eye roll from islanders if you're a newbie who politely points out a missing part... 😆

    Loved this video Shelby. BKM always does a great job with the filming !!!! I did see your part 1 video Shelby and your filming was good, but your right BKM has that magic touch with the camera. I could tell you were a little excited about this adventure, but you have a right to be !! this doesn't happen every day for you and to get to capture that adventure on film is priceless and to actually share it with your followers is even more meaningful !!!!!!!!!!
    Like always Shelby, thanks for sharing and its always good to see Dakota in the videos along with her "comments". Thanks Shelby for what YOU do and also BKM !!!!!!!!!

    I love the Dakota comments. Keep them coming.
    Also at the end of the video you said “this job never ends”. I can totally relate. You also have to remember that we are human and even tho we love our OTR it will burn us out. The term being in the seat to long is so very true. When you start feeling that way, it may be time to get out of the seat. Not just a 36hr reset but vacation time or an extended period of time off. To get out of the seat and reset yourself. We are after all only human.
    Keep up the awesome work it is very appreciative.
