Today, I dropped the load I’ve been on since last Friday.  There were two notable experiences related to that.  The first was a 20 mile trip around a lake on narrow winding 2 lane roads with a 14 foot wide load.  Actually it wasn’t nearly as bad as it could have been.  Traffic was lighter than usual.  Typically on that section of highway, there is a lot of traffic each way and everyone is jockeying to get around and get ahead of the guy in front of them, including our oversize load.  Today, people were cooperative for a change, and the load got through that dangerous section of highway without incident.  Someone told me that there are about six fatalities per year along that section of highway.  Fortunately, we didn’t have anything like that today.

The other significant incident was the 48 miles of rough dirt road, one way , that we had to take our load down.  The road was alternately dusty, skinny, muddy, and rough as a cob.  I thought my truck was going to shake apart.  Once we got the load delivered, then we had to drive back over that same 48 miles of dirt road.  What fun!!

Now I am in Wendover, UT.  Tomorrow we have Utah State Police escorts to help us move an airplane from the west side of the state to the east side.  We are en route to Colorado Springs, CO, with this plane.  I can’t tell you what kind of plane it is, because I haven’t seen it yet.  That will change in the morning.
