    I should sell my location. I mean if Apple and all the apps can sell it, I should get paid as well.

    I headed out of Kansas City up the 29 thinking I was going to make it across 80.
    Nope.
    I diverted off the 80 onto the 76 and decided it would be better to go over Vail on the 70.
    Up to 3 hour delays and two spots to throw chains this morning.
    Plus.... Avalanche warnings for officers gulch etc.

    I’m parked for the night, but I’ll be back on the 80 early tomorrow. Anyone headed towards the great state of California on the 80 might want to rethink their route. It currently is calling for sunny and 48/25 from Salt lake/west wendover/Elko/ Reno.

    I’m holding my ####ing breath on that. LOL

    It's not that everyone is hated just the ones that leave complaining about the state then move in my back yard then won't clean their boots before they come in

    If all goes well I'll make Twin Falls tomorrow evening, and then once I get to SLC I'll have the joy of deciding 80 or 70. Let's see what mother nature has in store for this week.

    My uncle was the one that started Amador Equipment.... The place with the big lumberjack in front of it.

    Uncle and I were both trying to convince dad to buy a couple of Parcels in Burke Ranch when it was first divided back in the 70s. They were around $50k at the time.

    Clarification?

    Don't you mean the ones leaving but not complaining about the "leadership". Basically the ones that don't think they were bent over by the "leaders" are the ones I have the most issue with. And they are the ones that want to bring the bureaucratic mess to their new community.

    Some fairly EPIC crashes the last 1400 miles.

    Most have been single vehicle. Being as it's clear and warm, I'm guessing fatigued/distracted.

    One dude just kind of rolled it over going to far off the shoulder.

    Gold medalist just drove through a guard rail on a curve.

    Honorable mention to the dude that rolled his horse trailer. Both horses were standing.

    The OM was like," Are those rhinoceroses?"

    And I was like," Not exactly, those are horses."

    And she was like," Could we fit a rhinoceros in the truck?"

    And I was like," A baby one."
