    Thank you, I actually have on the schedule a trip out to Utah in the next 45 days or so. If the work holds firm, maybe I can find a way to see that view.

    Cant find a better place to put this so I'll do it here. Wed PM a driver for a small foundation drilling co. back in my old stomping grounds, Ca central coast, is goin north on Hwy 101 near Willow Rd in Nipomo ca. As the story goes, hauling a drill rig what looks like a Cat 320 undercarriage, blows a right front tire just prior to the bridge overcrossing. Takes out the guardrail and gets over on a 2/1 slope where the machine falls off the trailer, rolls a couple times and lands on top of a car stopped at the stop sign at the end of the off ramp. Kills the female driver. One could not make this stuff up. What are the odds.

    Sometimes it hits close to home doesn't it.

    Some will say the securement was inadequate, and it may have been, but in this case it looks like it would have resulted in the whole trailer and tractor being pulled down.

    I'm not going to argue the point. Sometimes #### happens.

    #### shame for all involved.

    I'm sure securement will be the focus of the investigation.
