    Oh yesss....ya gotta love some of those directions. My hubby get his fair share of them and it never fails.....low bridge or a one way street only big enough to put a compact 4 wheeler on...then finds out his directions were wrong and has to get creative turning around. Makes ya wonder what they were thinking when those directions were given.

    How 'bout -----
    Go down yonder to where the OLD oak tree is, and turn left, .......
    then go to where the old drive-in USED to be, and hang a right,........
    go about three miles before the end of the road and what'cher lookin' for SHOULD be somewhere around there. :biggrin_2552:

    Uhhhhh, thanx? :biggrin_25512:

    Can somebody explain to me why it's acceptable for this guy to STOP on a BRIDGE to take a picture of a Fellow trucker in a bad way...

    The last time I checked It's illegal to stop your truck on a bridge.

    A. Not of that quality.

    B. He and nobody should take his eyes off the road or hands off the wheel. Especially for the purpose of making a fellow driver look foolish.

    The Werner driver screwed up probably by accident, but the guy who took the picture screwed up on purpose.

    The truck was moving...my digital camera (Canon Powershot) has a continuous shoot feature. I press and hold the button and it takes about 3 pictures a second until I lift my finger. For this particular thing...I took 16 pictures in a matter of a few seconds as I drove along the bridge.

    Also...this is where Im at about 40 mph going uphill on the bridge...and one hand was on the camera, aiming and shooting aimlessly; the reason why the picture is not horizontally straight.

    So...yeah...sorry but my eyes were on the road.

    Anything else?
