    Are we moving yet???

    My thoughts exactly... I passed about 20 or so vehicles last winter doing the 10 mph conga in NE. None of them wanted to get out of the tracks in the right lane. So I locked in the power divider and took to the 10 to 14 inch deep drifts in the hammer lane and broke trail... At least 4 other trucks followed right behind me as we passed the slow scaredy cats at about 35 to 40 mph. Was a pretty awesome sight to see the drifts breaking and pushing 10 feet or more infront of my bumper.

    I'm in no hurry. DriveTexas says things are still a mess right through Sonora. Don't have to be in Lala Land until early Monday. I think I'll have another coffee from my new maker that Santa left under the tree.

    Some of it is. Some drivers feel the need to lead from the rear. Only to pass and forget how to drive. That being in the lead is harder to drive than when they were following. At least when they were following they were making good time. Yet their leadership means everyone must come to a crawl.
