    Ive never stopped there because of the wind... But only because you can get off 90 and drop below the wind by going through Livingston... Exit 337 to Exit 330.

    It was blowing hard all the way to missoula. But over 60mph gusts in livingston. Mostly the 330 to the 400 mile was the worst of it ... but that was that cold front blowing its way thru , which brought snow the next couple days. First winter storm of the season. Supposed to rain and snow again all week

    Between Rawlins and Laramie, wasn't it? Isn't that the usual spot?

    Yeah thats the bad spot on 80 in WY...

    But on 90 in MT Livingston is the bad spot... One of our drivers got blown over there 2 years ago.

    That pilot used to be a shell station. Had a good taco place in it. Never had showers, or much parking, was one of the lowest cost fuel in the state.
