    Take the bridge. It will hold, and if nobody sees you, you're good!

    Once years ago driving a ready-mix truck our city was building a new sewer treatment plant, along with two treatment ponds. We had to drive across the levees, they had 90 degree turns, the strait always were bad enough, yet the 90 degree turns were very bad. The levies were just wide enough for our trucks to go down them. One drive got to close to the edge, he went upside down, yet that did not stop us but it sure put fear in my head.

    The mixer truck that went upside down, it sure made a mess of it, thankfully the driver was no harmed. After that he would refuse to drive on narrow roads for some reason or other.

    The northeast is ok. I live here and run here. But when I happen to get a load out to Indiana or Illinois, you can bet I'm smiling ear to ear. Sometimes it's nice to get away from the rat race...

    Feels like a vacation doesn't it. I almost feel guilty taking money for it.

    Those bridges are always short. Only one or two axles on them at a time, at most.

    Just be sure to haul donkey across them to minimize any potential damage.

    I don't feel guilty for taking the money though.

    I loved the caves. Ecept for when I forgot to log off duty on my elogs before going in and then having to drive slow as hell going out so I could edit them when I got out. Who knew satilites didn't work underground. :biggrin_25511:

    Was never a fan of Southern California or the San Fransico area, but every place has its moments of good and bad.
