I’m thinking you would pass out before cutting through ? Maybe stab the shit out of yourself but still I think pass out from pain

Fuck cutting yourself the heat will kill you in a hour

Take RT 66. It is a mess.

 

[Tank0088]

Hope a Social Worker gets there fast.

 

[RVR SWPR]

RD has taught you guys well off roading around detour on the 40.

 

[wallnutz]

Was Swift involved?

What a nightmare to deal with when it’s so hot. Stay hydrated if your stuck in traffic.

 

[Danger Dave]

Make sure none of you guys skip the Agricultural Inspection please.

 

[monkeyswrench]

Hotter than hell, and guys have to put out a fire...too hot out there to be in that gear. Let it burn out and direct traffic around the blaze.

Wonder how hot that truck was running pulling the grade?

 

[gqchris]

Must have just missed that coming EastBound this afternoon around 3. What a shit show!

 

[WYRD]

Did the coward do it?

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Must have just missed that coming EastBound this afternoon around 3. What a shit show!

Missed it by an hour!

It was about a 25 minute detour for us. We came to a stop about 1/4 mile away and sat there for about a minute before turning around in the center median and back to Ludlow to catch Route 66, which was wide open and deserted.
