Ar23 from Ozark to Fayetteville is a bigger adventure-- but I wouldn't recommend it either.. ahhh and the old US71-- wasn't those the days!

That was enough of seeing the NC country side for me.

did lovers leap and did 64 through lake lure from ruth to hendersonville, wanna see a road that will leave you saying some colorful words, thats the one, lol. also, whats that road you have to take to get to big island, va to gp? is it 501, you should try that one also, lol. I can think of plenty of road as bad as or worse than 58 fron stuarts draft to i-77 but you are right, i made the mistake of using it once and will never make that mistake again.

Im just up the road from you. Dupont, Pa Petro (Wilkes Barre/Scranton) Today was a long ass day. I swapped out near Columbus,OH and tonight I'm at Jim's truck stop in Buffalo, NY and will deliver in the morning then go home, but not until after I stop at the TA and get some tires repaired. I notice a soft drive tire and found a bolt in the tire. I threw some air in it and was going to plug it when I got home. But now I found a trailer tire with the bead broke. It was fine when I swapped out so I don't know what the deal is. I'll just get both tires fixed on my way home tomorrow. I'm going to end up getting home a day late but will actually end up with 1000 more miles than the way I was originally set up to get home. I can deal with that. 8) 8)
