    Double checked the map and called the guy that usually does this run, I’ve got a drop in IA in the am and I’m just going to run up to 94, just as long to go 85-12 and he’s got directions on any scenic tours I may have to take up that way

    spent the day at Iowa 80 like a noob, which was still pretty cool

    You will experience the full joy of the coup by Billings, Butte, and the one in the median before you go into Idaho.

    Guy in billings dipped my tank 4 trips in a row years ago checking for dyed diesel on my brand new 2015 t680 . Tanks were so clear inside because it was winter fuel and new tanks I just shook my head and zipped my mouth to make it go faster lol

    I was told after 7- 800 pm it’s just a civilian in there with no cops

    though now that I have my first 6 pallets off I feel a little less worried….
