    Forget the 285... I want to see it on top Elk Mtn. when the wind suddenly goes from 30 to 65 mph in the middle of January and visibility is about 200 feet.

    I wish i did. Dont have a camera on this truck, but obviously need to get some. i could not believe what i was seeing in my mirrors, part of me wanted to laugh because it was so incredibly dumb. Another part of me was angry as hell somebody would put my and their life in jeopardy for something so small and meaningless.

    Lol... Yeah thats about right. And we allbknow that 200 feet of visibility is pretty good on Elk during a high wind snow event.

    I remember January 2018 I drove most the way from Laramie to Rawlins riding the rumble strip just to ensure I was still on the #### road... I couldnt see more than about 10 feet past my hood, let alone the reflector posts!!! That was a VERY long night at 25 mph most the way.
