    Thats exactly what i did... i have three drops with two stops only getting one lift apiece so they are on the front chained together and then Hertz rental is getting 8 of them. on the side with the ladders i was only able to get 2 lifts per chain but on the opposite side i was able to chain 3 lifts together. we use snap binders adn they suck for lifts but i made it work. took me awhile to realize i needed my binder in the middle of the chain to take the slack out of both sides of the chain. tried it on the end of the chains at first and just got frustrated that i stil had slack somehow. good thing someone with more exp with them was there to help me. took me a couple hours to get it all situated adn not to mention with the snap binders i dinged up the rail that my curtain slides on since there wasnt any room between the lifts and the rail... also the lifts are almost too high for the conestoga... wouldnt recommend them for one again. also really want ratchet binders

    If you eat all of it plus the sides in a set amount of time. The steak is 72 ounces I believe.

    I was on harvest with a guy that has done it twice.

    93 from I-80 to ID is a Good road, just ran it last week. Road gets skinny when you cross into ID and the Port of Entry is usually open, but good running. No idea about it from Vegas to 80 tho

    Great!! It is amazing what a hottub, a massage and a handful of ibuprofen will do for a guy. I was not sore at all on Sunday. Going to try and run a couple more yet this summer.
