You're forgetting the dinner slide-show they showed us once a month over an Omaha corn-fed steak at Ft. Scott of the month's disasters. DELISHUS BBY! before shipping me out to bring back trailer/cargo salvages. It's actually the best training-no mistakes! #1 cause was always lack of sleep! I-80 through Iowa during white-out blizzards were actually the worst. You can't pull in off the I-80 cause they're not (offramps) PLOWED; much less the pumps at the fuel stop-Des Moines. And you can't stop and you can't go faster than 10 mph all the way to Omaha and Sapp Bros when the weather usually clears at the Missouri River. Visibility is 20' in the daytime. And no way the boy-wonder co-driver is gonna do any it. Boy did I love to see this: After that; it was blitz across Nebraska; a sprint through Wyoming (fuel at Bison) a dash through Utah(fuel at Salt Lake) and a serene ramble through Nevada....and Boomtown- hopefully with Donner temporarily closed....followed by a slalom down the pass (preferably in slush to keep the drums cool-I really hated chaining up), and a cruise to my own pillow in San José! 26 hrs later! After which I would awaken clearheaded to beautifully fill out the log sheets...
