One was actually very pretty and in a nice car but looked like she had a crackhead in the car with her. What drugs will make a person do. I said the hell with this and found a spot at the T/A Not much better. :shock: :shock:

In CA they have a booth they put in the middle of the road and check for chains. Hopefully we wont have to chain up on 26 tomorrow to get to Portland. We have a stop in Bend tomorrow before 3pm Be safe tootie I've done this a handful of times when things were really bad going over Government Camp and I didn't want to take a chance on the highway being shut down or somebody sliding into me. :shock:

Oops, I meant to say I-80+4
Still a little dicey in the hammer lane on I-84 in Utah through the mountains. Need to be patient and wait for a good area when your trying to pass a triple going slow. I tell ya, out in the middle of nowhere and a broadband connection!!!

I was in Rawlins Wy and the wind started. It was 65 steady. I stopped to take a nap and when I woke up it was even worse. I parked on the street in front of the truck stop which is the access road to the prison. When I woke up the whole lot was in grid lock with lots of trucks stuck in there. They had a cop at the entry ramp going East and only 30K plus loads were allowed to leave. I was 47k+.
Didn't go to far and they said it was gusting 80+ and they shut us down right there. I wasn't affected that much since my load is only about 1 1/2 feet tall. It was pretty cool driving along and just an absolute whiteout. Smooth sailing now and just cruising along doing about 500 a day since I don't deliver until the day after Xmas. Pick up another load right after I drop off then head home for a bit.

I'm at the IOWA80 truck stop and not many people here. It's 20 degrees outside and some stupid girl is on the CB trying to sell popcycles!!! If she had a brain she would be selling hot chocolate instead.

Popcicles was just a sales pitch. She was wanting a different kind of popcicle. :P :lol:
