    It was "Make Your Own Lane" night on 294 today. What should have been a 2.5 hour trip (with those road conditions) took 4. So now I only have 45 minutes on my 11 and 90 miles to the house with clear roads in front of me. By 0530 tomorrow the storm will have pushed north and I will be crawling my BT home.

    Lol. Mack is a hard one to get riled up, so I figured I would take a punch while he is enjoying a little moonshine.

    Question...

    Is it worth a hop up to 90 or down to whatever the next best one is south of you?

    On my way back here to Chitown I went over Vail ( 10,650 feet ) at the speed limit, cause forecast was clear sky mild winds, and it's actually shorter, but treacherous on a warm summer day.

    90 adds quite a few miles if someplace along 80 is your destination, like 550 up and back, and it's no picnic either.

    They are forecasting winds to die down mid day Saturday in WHY-OH-MING.

    I think 75 is a category 1 hurricane isn't it???
