    There's a lumber mill by broken bow that tarps for you. Most of the way. They drape them then do the front and back. You just do the sides.

    Exactly.

    Only crazy part was when the crew that works out in the trees came in for lunch. Several of them had on ski masks or scarves, sun glasses, and caps pulled low.

    Funny you mention Broken Bow. My wife and I are currently taking a mini-vacation. Rented a cabin just north of town, not far from the lake. We've been here before. Really like this area.

    And, yeah, every time we get on the highway, I see those lumber loads headed north on 259.

    Yep, Quebec. We used to call it the swamp when I ran there in the 90's

    I'm sure you've been asked before but I'll ask again. What are the snorkel looking things on top of your cab for? They look like they hook to the exhaust. And what's the screen at the base of your winshield for?

    I always like seeing pictures of yalls trucks. They look like they're out of mad max or something.
     
    Ozdriver Thanks this.

    That looks like the definition of "flat with no life sustaining qualities"
    I'd get tired of the GPS girl- "continue on Australian highway X for 3 billion KM until you reach your destination".

    My daughter spent a year in AU as a nanny and told me "you should go, you'd like it". Seeing your pictures I question now whether she meant it or figured it was a good bet, due to my impulsiveness and sometimes lack of common sense, that they would find my bleached bones next to that garbage can and she would collect on the estate.
