    I've been here in Rock Springs 3 times in 7 days. I'm going home April 12th taking grandson to Disney for several days. I left Dallas area around midnight yesterday morning it was 59 degrees, 85 the day before. I'm starting to hate Wyoming.

    Big party Saturday for Cathy's birthday. I am making Spaghetti with pork and beef, with Kiehlbasa, and saute'ed garlic butter shrimp on the side. Lots of garlic bread and a big bowl of salad. So far 30 people will be here,,,c'mon down. My wife will be 58, and has put up with me for 25 years. WoW, what a woman. Never thought I would be married to a truck driver, let alone sleep with one

    According to the NCDOT it is 53 miles longer.

    http://apps.dot.state.nc.us/tims/

    Official Detour: Motorists traveling on I-40 West are advised to take Exit 53B, I-240 West. Follow I-240 West to Exit 4A, I-26 West. Follow I-26 West (a North Carolina Scenic Highway) to I-81 South. Take I-81 South and follow back to I-40, Mile Marker 421, in Tennessee. This route is 53 miles longer than I-40.​
