    Stopped at the Pilot in Mountain Home, ID Crossed Oregon without incident but saw the aftermath of the ice storm. A UPS and Old Dominion doubles wrecked west of Hermiston and a Werner truck wrecked near Pendleton. The UPS and Werner trucks were torn up pretty bad, I'll be shocked if they came out of those wrecks with no injuries. :(

    Oh man , I love it !!!!

    I could technically be home on monday and tuesday for a bit to , because sunday and monday loads are always a little shorter . So round trip is about 640 miles . It would be alot shorter if we could just take 83 to 95 to 695 and then run dow to va10 , but we have to go 81 to 522 ,17 and then 95 so we miss the scales .:biggrin_25524:

    And I dont drive it like I stole it . Hahahaha:biggrin_2559:
    I am somewhat sensible , maybe around 5 mph over the speed limit.
     
    tsavory and Rocks Thank this.
