    88k gross with a 102 50ft spread creates the pucker factor every time no matter how many times you cross it. They did open that little corner up a bit few years back

    Are you referring to the bridge?

    I hate that freaking bridge! Always takes me two or three miles to get my seat out of my butt.

    Does it hold a candle to this one, that everybody seems to freak out over?

    I cross it twice a day every day.

    I don't like going into St Louis. A few years ago the gps led me into a low bridge. I thought made it under but still sustained damage to the trailer. Bad scene.

    Bay Bridge in Maryland. It takes a lot to get used to travelling over it. A dry van or reefer trailer will play hell if it is windy out. There are even people that sit on either side by the toll booths that charge to drive you over if you are afraid. What a racket.

    They won’t even let you cross with one of those if empty and the sustained wind speed is north of 40 mph. At 50 mph they kick the minimum weight limit up to 64.000.

    Even worse as demonstrated in Chiraq every weekend, shoot up 70, but only drop 10. Piss poor gun control in battle if you ask me. //deliberate prodding....

    I shoot 600 rounds a night in training, sometimes a few times a month, and I'll be ###### if my rounds are off target. Coming up on 27000 fired since 2009.

    You are so correct. I lived in NJ all my life and our runs took us from NJ to Richmond and I will not drive I-95, so US 301 and 50 were my choices. Not bad once you get used to it. Remember when the Chicken Hauler went over the side during construction and southbound was closed. The 4 wheelers are our worst nightmares.
