Ocean
Killer Rabbit,
If all you've seen of salt water is the Gulf of Mexico, you still haven't seen an ocean. You'd have to be on the right side of Florida. Better yet, on the left coast of the U.S. you'll see a real ocean, deep too. BOL |
Killer Rabbit..........that was one of the most meaningful post I've seen here in a long time................thank you, it brought back memories of my brother (late) when he and I ran teams OTR and seeing the "Prairie Dog" sign going to Seatle or Portland.............thanks.''''''great post.

TKR ... I enjoyed your stories .... it's clear - - you 'Get It' ... the good part of this profession ... you really need to continue telling more of them.
The last time I was at Cocoa Beach I was able to find some place to park the truck and walk on the edge of the ocean, dig my toes in the sand and feel the breeze blowing - it helped to energized me ... to continue on with my next load. This is an awesome place we live .. just as long as we stop for a bit and embrace it. |

In fact heres one more...just a short one...i think :wink: Firstly, b4 getting into the trucking industry, I was in "skywarn" for about 4 years which was an offtime hobby of mine...I loved the road and loved chasing storms...im a redneck what can i say lol. Anyways, I was travelling into my second week after training when I noticed a very distinct cloud called a wall cloud rotating like a top, mind you, it was around 4pm and the sky was almost pitch black! I turned on the weather band and there indeed was a tornao warning for the area. I pulled over to the side of the road to get my bearings as the super truckers plowed into that direction, and that is the point i decided to exit stage right to witness my first tornado dance across the freeway. All those years of chasing storms and I wasnt even chasing and one pops up in front of me. As far as I know, no one got hurt. A few other truckers and I watched in awe the spinning of the meso as it dissapated towards the east. What a day ! Quote:

Also, the area has some fairly good seafood restaurants in the area too. |
If You're ever travelling on I-94 in North dakota theres a "Badlands" rest area and visitor center which overlooks the badland national park. Absolutely breathtaking views and theres signs all around warning that bison roam the parking lot... I didn't see any but there were quite a few bison pies around... It's around Exit 36. Just pull off and take 15 minutes. It's well worth it.

Yeah,the Badlands is the only good thing about North Dakota. I drove many a mile all over South Dakota,and North Dakota. Besides the people not being able to understand us :P ,the hills will drive ya nutz. I bet there aint 100 square miles of flat land up there. :shock: :P Its pretty sad when youre in the wheat fields,and you cant see the combines for the hills. :P
