I went through this exact area at night in October 2021, and at the beginning of US 6 it was raining pretty hard, but as the elevation went up the rain turned to snow and eventually it was complete white out conditions and pitch black outside. It was the absolute scariest drive of my life, but I powered through just praying that I wouldn’t accidentally go off the side of a cliff. Eventually a trucker passed me and it was such a relief because I knew their headlights were much brighter than mine and that they likely had a more advanced GPS system, so I just followed right behind the trucker and they got me safely through the storm and I am so grateful for that trucker and that I made it out safely

I saw that too! I try to keep 3 seconds behind anyone in front of me especially in weather like this. People traveling on I-75 going through Dayton, OH have accidents all the time, and "tailgating and traveling too close are the major reasons for the majority of accidents." However, that said, I really enjoy riding shotgun over many of the roads I've traveled at one time or another in my life time. Keep up the good work!

This is the route between the Wasatch front and I-70. This is the way we go to Moab, There is always a lot of truck traffic on this road. A trucker saved me from hitting a deer I did not see in the middle of the night when he slammed on his brakes and sounded his horn as I was passing him. I slammed on my brakes and just avoided the deer as it darted in front of us. Thanks to whoever you were.

I live by Mt. Pleasant, Utah on 89, just south of Spanish Fork Canyon...I wanted to tell you a story about the canyon, and a sad thing that happened some years back.. Just as you were coming out of the narrows and hitting the 4 lane, there is a small mountain community to your right, as you head east...Three teenage girls, 2 sisters and a friend, were on the RR tracks close to that community...They were in the middle of both sets of tracks, standing upright..Two trains going in the opposite direction caught them and they were sucked underneath the trains..It was horrible, they had a small memorial there but I have not noticed it lately... Sorry to tell you that, but I am sure you will remember the story the next time you pass by..My wife is from Canon City, Co and we have lived there for years, on the back road to Cripple creek...I enjoy your humor and your attitude towards the govt, I feel the same way..Keep on a Truckin' -Ron Wood (Gold Star father)

Right after the mud slide in 1983 we hauled corn ,milo, and Soybean from a rail siding in Spanish Fork next to the old sugar beet factory. Because of the rail road track got washed out at Thistle. they had no way of getting the grain cars to the feed mill in Moroni. We did that for 2 or 3 years until the feed mill bought there own trucks.

One, japan.. essentially because it's the closest thing to a different planet..lol And two, Australia. I've met many Australians. Every one of them were incredibly smart and compassionate people. One in particular changed my outlook on life forever. Met him at a bar the day after my father died. Spoke with me for several hours. Gave me a hug and pulled me out of a bad place. Man had a way of seeing things that I've never experienced. Basically, one man helped me to accept my father's death over a few beers. That is not a thing that occurs often.lol Im sure that australia has its fair share of messed up people, just as we do here...But as far as I'm concerned, you are all great people.
