    Noting that the upper deck four wheelers on the parking lot came loose in the wreck ...... is that supposed to happen? I thought they had 4 chains on each car...

    Some scary scenes, fiberglass crushes so easily in these wrecks.

    With all the storms and tornadoes, flooding, etc, it pays to monitor the travel conditions on Wydot and other websites.

    Video of the crash in progress. Can't see a whole lot, but you can see some of the crashes that occurred plus more trucks heading into the carnage.

    it is still closed, and the dot has no idea when it will reopen. Wyoming is now being shady, and kicking people off in Rock Springs. as of right now, the entire eastbound stretch of i-80 from Evanston to Laramie and Cheyenne, is listed as closed due to winter conditions, yet there are westbound stretches that are dry as a bone, and have 75 mile per hour speed limits posted. the only reason I can think of, is that people are somehow driving around the barricades in Laramie and clogging the rack up at the 342 even further.

    this morning, I set till almost noon in Cheyenne, waiting and wondering. I finally decided to do the 155 mile detour up to Casper and come back down through muddy cap and rawllins.
