Down the roads away he stopped in at a gas station and got two sandwiches, chips and cold drink. One meal he gave to her and the other he ate himself. He made sure he pulled off the road where she could empty her coffee can without being noticed . Shortly they crossed over into Colorado he sotted some cushions and a travel pillow on the side of the road that had came off of a truck. he handed them to Audrey and said that's better than sleeping on the floor of the trailer so when they pulled over for the night at a rest stop she bunked down on the cushions with her sleepingbag and travel pillow while he slept in the cab of the truck. In the middle of the night they both heard some scurrying sound and at first thought it was an animal into the garabe cans and then all of a sudden a bear poked his head into the trailer and Audry let out this terrifying scream and the driver known as Ben shot off his gun in the air and scared the black bear away. They were the only ones at the rest stop so they didn't think anyone would call the police on him discharging his firearm. He said if they did just to stay quiet and still and he would say he got out to go and bear came at him so he fired in the air to scare the bear off.
Around six in the morning they were headed down the road again. he stopped at a coffee house and got a dozen of donuts a bottle of choclate milk and a cup of coffee for himself and headed back on the road. That night they camped at a campsite and waited till very late and he stood by the door while she took a shower and changed into a pair of pj's he bought at the shop next to the coffee house. She felt good and clean that she hadn't ever since she left Missouri. By night time they should be crossing over into Utah. Audrey pulled back the tarp some to get the daylight and at the next grocery store in a little mall he saw Dollar General store and went in and got a couple of fill in and Sudoka books for something that Audrey could do while they were on the road. Audrey thanked him and ate beef sticks, cheese and drink a bottle of water. while enjoying the ride. sitting on the cushions strength out with a makeshift table. She hadn't had time to talk to him about her grandfather. There were so many questions she had for him, and his father. At dinner time they were pretty close to the Utah line when they pulled into a little restaurantand this time Audrey gave Ben a twenty dollar bill and wanted a big cheeseburger fries and a diet Coke. He got him the same thing He drove down a little way and pulled into a road side park and ate together. Ben told Audrey they would cross the into Utah in about an hours time. The weather said that night it would get down into the low sixties and he was worried about her getting cold so they made a pit stop down at a town mall and went in and got a comfortor to go with her sleeping bagThey still had Utah and then Nevada to go
