Thanksgiving in Wyoming

Another classic case of driving too fast for the weather/road conditions on I-80 in Wyoming!!
I almost feel sorry for those drivers involved in that quagmire.
Almost..
I actually feel MORE SORRY for the Wyoming Highway Patrol and the other first responders who had to respond to that because they had to clean up after a bunch F’n idiots who thought they were driving in the summer and not adjusting to winter weather conditions.
And rest assured,there are going to be some company drivers and owners operators alike who will be getting stocking stuffers in the form of VERY EXPENSIVE tickets from Wyoming Highway Patrol when their investigation is done!

 

That looks like it happened ride there by Elk mountain. It’s always sketchy in that area

 

If Ya’ll only knew …lol

 

I don’t understand Wyoming. I drove through there the other day and the freeway signs stated there was 55 to 65 mph wind gusts. There were three signs over a period of about 30 miles indicating this. I would say the wind was maybe 5 mph the entire trip. There was black ice in spots though.

 

Because there’s places that the wind funnels through some of the valleys and that’s what makes Wyomingso interesting to drive across

 

It was at the top of the summit out of Laramie. Visibility was pretty poor. Had 4 plows hit in 3 days.
