    Jim-

    Long time, no posts. Glad to know all is well.

    By slow, do you mean railroad action? Or loads?

    Just slow in RR action only can catch around vegas, Cajon pass 2 Cima area. Then if lucky at Wells were the old SP and WP lines conect. Can also catch around Pocetllo and then from Bliss to Mt Home ID. Oh and the Ghost train in Ely,NV. So would would be the same places

    correct I'll try to do 1 a day some days will get lucky tho. I was on a deciated run. In Montana all time to Vegas. But all is well. Marias pass was challenging in winter and wind from Browning to Great Falls was fun too. It was main reason I stopped. You can only guess so many time's

    I would deliver in Kalispell the go thru Columbia Falls to Browning. Alot of times in the winter go thru Sealy Lake over Rodgers to Great Falls. Wind was nasty and roads,usually icy too

    Yup. That's pretty much normal winter here! Going east from C Falls, the winds can really tear coming out of Bad Rock Canyon. Then going down the east side, well it is famous for the winds. Then I'd never drive either of Rogers or McDonald Passes in winter. Yikes! Scary!

    I believe we have a law in place now where you can keep what you hit. Ha ha. If true, keep a portable BBQ handy!

    I hate winter as it is!! Driving in it, is NOT much fun.
    The OTR drivers get my respect, for all the garbage they have to deal with daily!!
    I give 'em the room they need while on the road!

    Grass Lake, CA? Not much else gives the location away.
    Good to have these puzzles back!
