    It don't sound boring, and you don't drive on the shoulder anyway do you?

    The scenery was nothing new.
    I don't drive on the shoulder unless the wind blows me there.

    I was white-knuckling most of that trip.

    lol I reckon you need to stay on the big road. lol
    I like the little roads, but I guess they aren't for everybody, and actually am kind of glad they aren't.

    Yeah, it is boring. But relaxing compared to that stretch down 15 to 215 to 80, and 80 past the airport, and 80 untill you pass Tooelle.

    The wind God must have had it in for you that day. :)

    The utah portion isn't the friendliest portion for trucks. And it's only 30 miles iirc. .But the Nevada portion (75 miles) is wider and one can actually speed as there's rarely a cop.

    I thought it was 125 miles total but now I think it's 105.

    There's a few truck companies in the north. And grocery and steel loads. They take that road a lot. For them. It's 67 miles shorter then going through the city.

    It really is faster once you know and use the hammer down system. Provided you can and want to go faster.

    As for boring. That's nevada entirely. Much like Wyoming.

    Why do you gotta be so ####### insulting and belittling? Small #### syndrome?

    Just stay off my topics already.

    I didn't mean for it to come out that way, just saying I tend to like those little roads, but guess there are not every bodys cup of tea, no offense meant. I also just find interstates boring, just set the cruise and ride,to me is boring, unless in the mountains or some scenery.
