    Wreck your truck, get a ticket, and get bit by a wolf all in one day.

    I hope the cost of the citations and the wrecker trucks are extremely high… Enough to bankrupt them… They obviously are not smart enough to be on the highways with the rest of us… Trim the herd

    They might just tack on a little bit more for aggravation… I know the highway patrol is fed up with the crap that’s been going on the last couple years out in that state

    Most of the time its easy enough to get around a closure on 80 or 25, while still staying on major state or US routes. One just has to be paying attention to the weather before they get into WY so they can figure out which route to take.

    I used to do it all the time, never had an issue. In fact most of the time it ended up being a nice peaceful drive... Without all the chaos and yahoos that congregate along the major interstates.
