2talltim Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Pike Peak was cool, but didnt live up to expectations. Kind of like the dragon I guess. Got sick as hell up there. Headed to Denver now. Mount Evans was cooler than Pikes Peak in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut out Utah and Vegas, that gave us more time in Colorado. Veey happy with that decision. Decided that a few weeks ago. Starting to piss me off that I cant set the cruise at 90. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Made it to Cameron MO, north of KC. Went around the city to avoid rush hour. Nice country trek. Dome of Hate had to kick in hard. Blasting east across 36 there was a massive storm coming down from the north. Just got checked in and blamo it hit. Massive rain, wind and hail. Tomorrows target is Ft Wayne IN. Going to avoid all the major cities. Edited July 1, 2016 by Tonik Casper sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Blasting across 36 and this pick up passes me at 85 in a 65. Not a good idea on a holiday weekend. So I cranked it up and tucked in about a half a mile back. Sure enough, 60 miles later he got tagged. It was fun while it lasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Trailed a guy in a Nissan coming back through KY from the gap. We were doing about a 95 pace for about a hour till I needed gas then I was pissed that I would loose my blocker as I call them. Got my gas and got back on the freeway and trooper had him pulled over about 3 miles up. Kinda felt sorry for him till he passed me again 8 or 10 miles later and it was on again till he exited the freeway 20 miles up.

Goodtimes Did you see the jack knifed suburban with the car trailer in the median on 75? It was carnage. I came through right after it happened. The cables in the median kept them from hitting oncoming traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cables in the median kept them from hitting oncoming traffic. You must have been right behind me. I was literally there when it happend. Cuisine along and all of a sudden everyone's brake lights came on. Heard a Bang and seen dust flying in the air a few hundred yards ahead of me. I came to a stop a then heard screechig tires behind me and said fuck this I'm not getting sandwiched. Got over to the right sholder and rolled down to see what happened and seen 15 people headed towards the suv and there guy at the suv yelling "were ok, everyone is ok". I dialed 911 and they said they had already recieved multiple calls. There was nothing I could do so I went around everyone that was stopped and motored on. You had to be only minutes behind me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
