    Thanks Rocks.. it's a company truck, and it's grey, wished it was blue as it's my favorite. Oh and it's also dirty. I had it washed at the streakin-beacon the next day.

    Keep the photo's coming Eaton, it reminds me a lot of the southernmost part of Florida, almost like a little bit of home when i see landscape like that. Logan if you like the flatlands just get out there in Ohio a little west on 70, I could not believe how flat Ohio is out there. My wife and I went to Nashville 2 Christmas's ago and drove out that way and I was floored by the landscape, I never knew how drastic of a change it was in such a few amount of miles.

    ...and you ain't whistlin' "Dixie" there bro! Headed out over the Llano Estacado later today and tomorrow. Good to be out of the midworst!

    Pull out your RMCA sometime, and look at the Texas maps some time. Look at the difference between the east side, and the west side. You can pretty much draw a N-S line through Fort Worth, and its the same deal all the way up to the Canadian border. There's not enough rain on average every year west of that line to support deciduous forests. So... one word pretty much sums it up.

    Commanches.

    You didn't want to have a meet-up.

    I'm not sure anyplace is as flat for as long as Kansas is. Did not do much Kansas for PAM but went through it a few times and my sister went to a wedding there so I am familiar!

    I had a trip a while back through eastern WY and then up into ND and east. There is a stunning beauty to that area that too many can not see.

    Eaton, is that a 386?

    Both Kansas and Nebraska have beautiful hilly areas, you just have to get off the interstate to find 'em.

    Yep! One of my favorite views is dropping off the west side of the Black Hills into Newcastle, WY. You can see forever from up there!
     
    Zen Trucker Thanks this.

    And Gigs according to my federally approved federal document--right here in my drivers door I was actually there for 15 mins--whilst I splashed sum gas and did certified vehicle inspection--and who am I to argue with an official govt document? So it must b true:D

    Trucking's 3 great lies:


    1. [*=1]My logbook shows exactly what I was doing.
      [*=1]They'll unload you as soon as you get there!
      [*=1]"I used to be Special Forces."


    With apologies to Fogerty; "I know it's true, cause I heard it on CB!"

    OH! Aberdeen, SD headed to MSP and back here.
