    I saw the episode where Hugh was shooting out the window. I had assumed it was an airsoft gun. They make airsoft guns to look like real handguns and some folks paint over or remove the orange tip to make them look more real. Here's an example of an airsoft handgun: http://www.hobbytron.com/CO2LethalWeapon2SigmaPistolFirepowerInterrogatorFPS350AirsoftGun.html

    It looks like IRT season 5 is going to be in the Himalayas according to the "teaser" promotions they're showing this season. That'll be a change.

    Nice pics, man!
    I hate going around Clearfield...like you said, that hill on 322W before it hooks up with 153 is a bear...doesn't look bad at first...until you start dropping gears like a mofo!
    ####, looks like they shut I95 down to pull you up that grade!!!! :biggrin_25523::biggrin_25514:

    I live in Michigan and have to deal with pulling a fuel tanker in lake effect snow blowing in off of Lake Michigan and if you ever delt with lake effect you know it can be a bear sometimes clear sunny sky's one min and total white out the next min. I run a lot of rural roads and I think they can be just as treacherous as the "Haul Road" but I do enjoy watching Ice Road Truckers but as some have stated in previous posts it is kinda hokey but none the less it's entertaining. And yes I think Hugh "The Polar Bear" is a jerk wad but I guess every show has to have an a#$hole

    No doubt. I lived just East of Erie, Pa for about 15 years growing up. There were times we had 4 feet of snow and 15 miles away the grass was showing - just depended on where the bands of lake effect set up. I was always hoping they stayed away from I90 when I was on my way home driving OTR..haha..

    I second the vote about the snow in michigan. I have lived in michigan all my life and have done a lot of driving in snow and ice.
