    Yep....It doesn't look good....I'm wondering if taking 50 around and back up to Denver would be better...

    WCP, the problem is that there's no way to get at Montrose from the west, it's either Grand Junction or Durango. And the Canyonlands in Utah cause the same problem, Not really anything between AZ and I-70 to take you were you want to be. If you've already hit Utah, your only real options are 70 & 80. I ran US50 back to Denver last spring from Montrose, I wouldn't want to go that way in heavy weather unless there were no other options.

    So I had to go around the yard here and teach guys to chain and pull the stuck guys out. Lol. Who's have thought the pizzon from the east coast had to teach the NW guys some things lol. Time for a shower to wash the snow dirt and grime off and then get some sleep.

    Are you a Gordon driver?

    Before I switched to live floor I used to cruise through Millersburg several times a week hauling sawdust and shavings into the particleboard plant (Flakeboard) just down the street.
    Quite a few truck yards down that little stretch of road, you'd think some entrepreneur would come along and put some sort of truckers café and c-store in there to capitalize on all the truck traffic.
    That old IP paper mill being torn down would be a great place for a truck stop come to think of it.
