Re: Too much excitement
That sounds scary. Seems like it could have flipped up under you and caused you to veer off your lane. I was following a work truck when a 6 inch square steel plate that was probably 1/2" thick fell off the back of it. It hit the road on a corner and started spinning like a ninja star toward the front of my truck. So fast there really was no time to react but luckily the last bounce it did only put it even with the bumper. It knocked a hole in the bumper and tore off the Toyota emblem above that on the radiator grill then fell off under the truck. Had it been at the point of the bounce where it was two feet higher it would have gone through the windshield. Guy driving the work truck kept on going, probably never knew one of the 50 plates he had unsecured had fallen off.450Views0likes0CommentsRe: First time for everything

I can't even go the speed limit in a lot of places because our rig just doesn't have enough HP to get the 19,000 pounds and sailboat up steep hills. If there is a truck lane I am in it. If there is a turnout I use it. I am sure I still piss people off because there are places where the state or county just doesn't think they need turnouts or passing lanes. I have never made a line of cars follow us more than a mile or so though before I find some shoulder or something to pull over. That being said, we were traveling in our new F150 in fairly heavy traffic and were at least 4 cars back from a slow leader car. The guy behind me doesn't pass us during an opening...no, he goes at 70mph past all five of us on the shoulder, with two tires in the grass. I had never wished so hard for LEO to be around. He would have killed a pedestrian, cyclist or anyone who happened to be pulled off with an emergency. Moral of the story, people are impatient ********. Always have been, always will be.385Views0likes0CommentsRe: Most Expensive Camp Site Ever

I was wondering why he didn't say "Would you call it $270 coffee?"493Views0likes0CommentsRe: Western Montana fishing and NF campground reccomendations?
Try Dunn Creek Campground and boat launch near Libby. It is a free place to camp right on the river. No facilities except pit toilets but they have quite a bit of room. We stayed there about a week and only had one or two other campers. Here are some pics from when we were there last year:330Views0likes0CommentsRe: Travel advice - quick cross country trip
Steve, I just saw this thread! You are coming to our home state. If you want a great place to chill for a day along I-90 just outside of Spokane, try the Fishtrap BLM area. I think it is about 7000 acres and has some small ponds, hiking trails, pretty fun motorcycling. It is free and just a couple miles off the highway about an hour west of Spokane. It does sound like you are doing a fast trip though. Sort of like trying to see the UK in 3 days like we did. Yep, there is that rock ring thing, oh there is an old castle....oops time to go.565Views0likes0Comments
