Skeet, If you had to use I-80 this winter, you wouldn't like the nick-name. Had an unusually hard winter along the trail, closed a lot from Rock Springs to Laramie and Cheyenne. Usually that is just from Rawlins to Laramie; 48 hours duration once this winter. Pile-ups of 20 vehicles are not unusual. My neighbor is a patrolman and he is more concerned about getting killed by a truck than someone with a gun. The truckers take terrible chances and don't make it. My son has to make a 90 mile drive west from Rawlins to Point-on-Rocks each day and back and he only missed about a week of work. He is more concerned about survivability in his car than mileage. This was a very unusual winter and maybe it will be back to the old pattern next winter.
Wyoming folks are like hardened steel. Hot one day and cold the next, we are tempered.
