    I am a little concerned about the placement of that go pro camera though.

    I was wiped out after that inspection. That bit from 25 to Rawlins puts some wear on one lol.

    Wasn't super turbo in the usual place in front of the mountain today. More like 15 or 20 miles east of it.

    I thought for sure I was going to see my first LIVE rollover Beethoven right in front of us.

    Said winds to 70+ on the boards and WHY-OH-MING web site.

    Some DUDE was definitely well on his way. He was a solid 3 feet over in our lane, his tractor still in the hammer lane.

    Amazon DUDE was in front of us with his trailer a good two feet in the e lane.

    I was only doing maybe 45, 30 watching all this.

    Some he misses Amazon dude by inches, and they both straighten out.

    The way the one dude came up the hill, I'm certain he was violating the light load closure.

    But yea, a good 3 hours of that makes me tired anymore.

    It seems that in the last few years, winter driving across WHY-OH-MING has become a real hard slog.
    The number of fools out on the road has become almost unbearable.

    Just have to hope you don't go with a bad driver when he goes.

    Truckloads of dude's parked today.

    We're about 76K so I figured we'd give it a go.

    It had to be the coolest shifter ever. I do like the round shifter knobs in cars today. But my all time favorite to drive was an old GMC pickup with three on the tree!

    One man this morning at the Cheyenne Sapp Brothers said he'd been there for 2 days.

    He just shook his head.

    Couple guys saying it was the worst they'd ever seen.

    It was FAR from the worst we've ever seen it.

    He probably never heard it called that before.
