Long Trucks
Although with special permits we can have longer and larger loads hauled with CHP escorts. When they build the wind farm on Hatchet Mountain there were loads 185 foot long each day for a few weeks.

Heading for home...
Entered Utah about around noon and stopped at the rest area. Beautiful scenery here.
Lovely smell from the cattle trucks, too.

Thank God the tornado missed us
We stayed in Columbia, Missouri last night and the motel had a tornado warning. There was a huge tornado in Joplin, Missouri that wiped out half the town. Today we are back on the road heading towards Nebraska. Saw a Pony Express statue near the Harrahs close to Kansas City but around Kansas City to avoid the traffic and saw the KC Royals field and the Chiefs practice field.
