Sorry about the picture quality. Cellphone pic while trying to drive on a straight line.

Saw 2 semi trailers flipped over between Douglas and Cheyenne today.

Dang, pic is worse than I thought. Basically, stay th hell off the road if you have a trailer or high profile vehicle. 70 mph winds.

Yep. Trying to walk in a 70 mph breeze with you pants hanging down around your knee's doesn't work very well.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. They do, however, have some redeeming qualities. Folks from other states driving through Wyoming on I-80 stop in there, take one look and swear never to return to Wyoming, certainly not to move here. What's not to like? grin

The first winter I spent here I was complaining about the wind and a construction supt. I work with told me, "If it wasn't for the wind this place would be as crowded as Colorado". That's stayed with me ever since.

That was Arlington. I have a pic from out there of a truck being used to stall the blades on a turbine while a blade was being replaced. The wind picked the truck up and over a crane. Expensive day. smile

�..I'm told that 30 miles both east and west of Laramie on I-80 is the most dangerous stretch of road in America. Last year when I drove to the SHOT show, I counted 9 big-rig trucks blown over on their sides between Laramie and Rawlins (about 90 miles).
