    Get it near a railroad track and Davetro can get the railroading buffs to go there during the summer!
    Tho he must have cinnabons with bacon.

    Rawlins. Someday you guys can look us up in Rawlins. Free parking for DEF trucks with boxes, or trucks with cats.

    I took the gamble based on road conditions in Montana, radar, and reports took 90 instead of 94. It cost me this time, but usually I do pretty well with it.

    That corner of the state can be very unpredictable in my experience. And there arent many options out once you are there.

    That was a crazy storm on that load. I think they had it shutdown for almost a week. I havent been up that way since but thats only because i detoured up to 90 instead and last year got caught in frickin 80+ mph wind gusts up there. Never again, that's the most nervous I ever been driving a truck . then the next morning there was atleast 15 trucks in the ditch just west of where i stopped for the night.

    That road looks big enough for maybe 2 amish buggys , let alone a dang semi. Nice work driver :headbang:
