Popular Post other dog Posted February 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2014 I made two trips to Pa. this week. First I went to Boyers, which is near the middle of nowhere...also near Slippery Rock-sort of. You turn off of rt. 8 onto some other road, go 5 or 6 miles, then turn into a dirt driveway and go back in the woods about 3/4 mile...Looks like you're going to nowhere, then finally you see something.That's the place- gotta pull down towards that dumpster, back around the front of the building, head back out, then back up in front of the door by the dumpster.It was quite chilly in Boyers too.I was not going that fast down their driveway by the way, I was on I-79 here.Now I gotta see if I can make it back up this hill empty.Yup...made it to the highway!Got to go to Greenville and pick up some roll off dumpsters going to Richmond.Heading to Richmond.Some big Mack trucks at S.B.Cox in Richmond.V8 Superliner.39 baby Mack?Unloading the dumpsters.Then I went to the shop and got a load of crane mats going to Evans City, Pa. Took them right across the road from where I got the overweight ticket a while back. Then headed to McKees Rocks to get a load of steel going back to Lynchburg. It was snowing when I left McKees Rocks, but the road was pretty good down 79 and 19.I decided not to take 39 and 20 from Summersville to Charmco, thought maybe 60 would be better...huge mistake- 60 was horrible all the way to Rainelle.I was spinning trying to get up some hills but I got my pire divider locked in before I started up the mountain, and made it across...smoked 3 packs of cigarettes, and they had to put a new seat in the truck today, but I made it, and didn't throw any tracks off.Finally got to I-64, should be smooth sailing n...never mind.Maybe 220 will be better...not!Unloaded and reloaded in Lynchburg this morning, the mountains are pretty,eh? The two highest ones at the far left are the Peaks of Otter, near Bedford.Liberty University sign on Liberty Mountain.The snow report, and dog feet-Snow on the back porch.Passed through Winfall on the way home of course, but I didn't see anything unusual.Nothing out of the ordinary to be seen in Gladys either. 10 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

farmer52 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Nice pics. The Hollidaysburg - Duncansville sign looks familiar. Were you coming down Cresson mountain headed East on Route 22?

farmer52 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I was coming down some mountain on 22, just before you get to 99.Yep, Cresson mountain. The exit at the top is Summit. It is where old route 22 crosses the new 22. If you get off at Summit and go east about one (1) mile is Cresson Ridge Diesel, an old Mack dealer. There is also an old truck stop next to CRD. Can't remember the name but it is closed. Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vision386 Posted February 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2014 Been a tough week for truckin' for sure! had a couple "pucker" moments myself this week! came south on 301 Thursday night,of course the coop is open before the Potomac River Bridge,snowing like a bastard! (they were about to close the northbound side) ventured on up (empty) got a good grip on the wheel,went up pretty easy,started down the from the top in second gear,too slippery for the jake,put my foot on the brake,nothing happening! trailer tires standing still and I'm gaining speed! only one good lane open (the middle) I got down to the truckstop,went in and gave up for the night! Time I got there,you couldn't have gotten a sheet of paper between the cheeks of my ass!...........................Mark (for those who are unfamiliar,the Harry.W.Nice bridge across the Potomac is steep as shit,and two lanes wide) 5 Quote Mack Truck literate.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Great picks of the week OD nothing worse than going up hill and the rears start making the dum dum dum dum noise and get short of breath talking to yourself and the left leg starts shaking andthe pucker affect takes hold. Mark, This would apply to that bridge too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 I got that gif from yellow bullet, which i'd never heard of until it was mentioned here. I was looking for the one where the girl stuck her tongue out and touched the tip of her nose with it, but I couldn't find it again. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 That's a fun place to check out.yes it is, but I have to be sneaky discreet about it. All I even look at is trash or be trashed, and you can go back two minutes later and the first post you read before will be on page 3. they must have about 8 billion members, that's why it's so hard to find stuff later.But I must say, BMT is still the best site on the interweb machine, first thing I do when I get home is check out BMT, which also gets me in trouble sometimes because I don't even say "hi" first. The membership here is probably 4 times bigger now than it was when I first joined. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
