Today, on my way to Albuquerque, in Flagstaff, all the way to Holbrook, there were people on the overpasses with American flags waving at the trucks. Some places the entire overpass was packed with people. They were holding signs thanking truckers and I think I saw some signs referencing vaccinations and so on. Just curious if this was a widespread thing going on other places?

Probably the Trucker Convoy passing on its way through to Washington D.C.
Boondock, bumper Jack, Puppage and 3 others Thank this. -
I guess I need to get caught up on the news. Lol. I mean I (kinda) heard about the convoy in Canada, but I haven't heard anything about one going to DC. But I'm not on Twitter or FB so I'm usually out of the loop it seemsBoondock, Keepforgettingmypassword and tscottme Thank this.

"Come on join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna get in our way, across the USA,,,CONVOY,,",,that was in 1974,,and shouldn't those people on the overpass be working? I get a kick out of all these "protests",,,shouldn't you people be working?

Yea I saw today too, the convoys route is going right through there. From what I heard on cb they were having issues finding out where the California group was currently at. Looked online and the convoy went to Kingman, AZ Wednesday night so all these people out there Thursday were waiting for them to take off from there.
Saw some really nice looking ladies waving at me as I was going west.Last edited: Feb 24, 2022

Ahh, a quick Google search and now I see. Guess I should've started with that.
Boondock Thanks this. -
I see people standing on top of those overpasses all the time. It really has increased since around 2016. Some of them want you to blow the horn at them. I figure they were bored.
Boondock and Keepforgettingmypassword Thank this. -
These folks don't really know what to protest over. People in our society, they just feel this need to be apart of something. They just want to to copy Canada. I think one area where these protests fail.....I think these folks don't take the temperature of society. They don't take into account how truly divided this country is on everything. Times and ideas have changed and I don't know if some them realize it.

They do that in Arizona. In the week after 9/11 I saw groups standing on overpasses and street corners holding candles and flags when I drove through AZ. Didn't see anything like that in CA, OR or WA though.
Boondock Thanks this. -
At least in the 60, 70, and 80's you got flashed.
Boondock, bryan21384 and Grumppy Thank this.
