We were up early on Saturday morning to take the chapel to the Annual Trucker’s Day at The Buck to benefit Children’s Miracle Network.
It was a beautiful morning.
I was grateful that Volunteer Chaplain Bob Russell was there to help Cerwin set up the steps.
They enjoyed sitting in the shade of our canopy and watching truckers arrive.
Since the guys were at the chapel, I took a walk to check out the “scenery.” Some of these guys and gals have beautiful rigs.
One of the guys noticed this interesting critter on our canopy and told me to bring the camera. I have no idea what it is.
Our view from under the canopy.
The owner of this company stopped by the chapel to tell us that he appreciates our ministry to drivers.
He had several trucks there.
I walked on to see what other drivers arrived since my last walk.
It was a good day at the chapel.
We are given a prime spot at the show, but have to move out by 4:00 p.m. to make room for vehicles coming for the evening event – truck pulls. One of these years we are going to stay for that – but not this year.
Some of the pull trucks were arriving about the time we left.
I think that was a wheel bug on the canopy.
I agree – by pictures on Wikipedia. I never heard of a wheel bug.
That critter looks like some sort of prehistoric beetle! Such beautiful colors and shiny wheel covers on those trucks — they really show a pride of ownership!
My anonymous friend says it is a wheel bug. Yes, these drivers take good care of their trucks.
