Post holiday traffic is always bad Dallas south to Austin. Tonight IH 35 is a parking lot. It took me about two hours to get to Waco, traffic, then I have been in Waco for 1.5 hours already, just sitting here. Some one ahead of me said there was an accident. This sucks!!!

 

That isn't bad-Once it took me 2 hrs to make it from Plano to Carrollton and that's what? 20 miles? :P
Talk about Clutch leg lol

 

Finally made it home. It took 7.5 hours from Dallas to Austin, normally it only takes 3 hours.

 

Like tonight,on 82 going to Lubbock. Normally,you may drive for 30 minutes before you see anyone,tonight,it was like driving on 635 in Dallas. :shock: and more black n whites than you can shake a stick at. I guess all the college kiddos going back to Tech.

 

I've spent 8 hours just trying to get through Chicago. I think 6 of them were spent right in the "loop".

 

That's when you turn on your CB and then take 294 around :P

 

Yeah, I have another thread going about a CB I want. Obviously, I haven
t bought it yet. There are ways around Waco, if I only knew.

 

When I drove through Chicago on the day before your thanksgiving I was headed east via the 294 and the 80/94. Got held up for about an hour. Traffic going west was backed up from the 290/294 split all the way to exit 6 at Burr st. in Indiana! We're talking dead stop here! That was probably one of the craziest traffic jams i've seen in my short time on the road. Very happy I was heading east because those guys heading west could have probably logged their 10 rest period sitting in that mess.

 

The time I spent 8 hours going through Chicago WAS on 294. Winter, snowing, and a flatbed rolled it and lost a coil of steel down the road. It unrolled and went from one side of the road to the other. Passed a few cars in the process to, from what I understand. They had the coil to pick up or move over, and a number of cars to clean up after. From what I heard, downtown was no better. But, that was also about 10 years ago.

 

How does turning on the CB take you from Downtown Chicago to the bypass? Does the CB have a teleportation device in it? :P
