    Wow. I didn’t know they mined frac sand in Jersey. I reckon it mostly goes to the Marcellus/Utica?

    Here in western Oklahoma, we have limestone and granite. Get farther east and you can get river rock.

    Hook up to trailer, landing gear bolt breaks off and landing gear handle comes off in my hand. Marker light out on the corner. I'm thinking to myself "I'm not a self driving truck here, how am I supposed to fix this?". Somehow, I manage.

    I wasn't sure after looking at the map if I was going to be able to pull in there being stretched out. I'll have to check it out.
    I was pushing my luck enough around here with the craters in the lot that are sometimes deeper than they look.

    When you have to back it in 180 degrees around the building to get set up and line it up first try.

    If you're westbound and have the time to kill and don't mind about 12 extra miles go west on 30. Nice ride, less wind, better scenery. You leave the Petro and go over the bridge past the Pilot, over the railroad bridge and left on 30. Brings you out at the 235 Walcott exit. We used to stop in for lunch at the Virginian in Medicine Bow.

    Honestly, its all about conditions. I do have power and a good set up, so it helps. Usually skip where I live runs in the 500-1000 mile range with the occassional trips 2k or better. There is a guy on youtube that has me on tape from Mississippi to California, I've done that on 100 watts before. All about the weather and a decent antenna mainly. Then power comes in.
