OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....

[Hott Butt Mud]

You have to fight that guy!

[fastfred]

I am going to avoid I-70 like a muthafucka this upcoming long weekend.

Thinking about going to Red Lodge, MT and driving Beartooth Pass Hwy over/down in to Wyoming and Yellowstone to Jackson; back to CO.

The thought of Yellowstone on July 4 weekend seems like a bad idea. Am I wrong? How about Beartooth Hwy?

driving anywhere in the moutain west this summer will be nothing short of hell driving 10pm - 6am will be your only hope
never seen so many land yachts going slower than a semi this summer

I-25: shitshow
Beartooth Hwy: shitshow
All roads in Yellowstone: shitshow
Jackson: shitshow

You *might* get lucky and have 191 not be a shitshow on the way back... but that would be just dumb luck.

Which lake? Altoona? Lanier? I know some cliff to jump off...

ETA: the weather actually doesn't look too bad for July in the ATL. Highs are just in the 80's.

The traffic however, will be I70 x 10.

Quality shit show, indeed:

"Around 3 p.m., one eastbound driver in a Toyota Tacoma apparently froze in the middle of the Upper Narrows section and caused a traffic jam of about 250 cars that could not move "


Froze?

And humidity will be in the high 300%s.

PM BMills for advice on air conditioned places to drink.

Lets have a moment of silence for the residents of Pitkin County who are oh so unfairly being force to share their public road with the unwashed masses.

[The SnowShow]

“The main problems Monday on Independence Pass started about 1:30 p.m., when a large pickup towing a large trailer, which was over the 35-foot limit, dropped one of the trailer wheels off the side of the Lower Narrows section and high-centered the trailer on rocks, Lathrop said. That blocked the road and set up a traffic jam that easily ensnared hundreds of cars.

When Lathrop finally reached the scene, he told the truck driver he’d have to unhook the trailer and leave it until the traffic cleared, but the driver refused to do so, Lathrop said. Instead, the man gunned the pickup’s engine and dragged the trailer off the rocks.”

Please tell me this asshole was fined heartily?

I think that Frisco has redone their median every two years for at least the last 20 something years that I've been around.

Turn into the hospital and snake your way through Bill's Ranch if headed northbound. Go out behind Wal-Mart and through the Reserve if headed southbound on Hwy 9. That cone zone will be hell this weekend.

[Leshphilling77]

they've got to be close to done with that, yeah?

[cmsummit]

They are reconfiguring the Hwy 9/Main St. intersection and installing another roundabout at 8th/Hwy 9 that hasn't even started yet.......I think the projected completion date is 11/1

Fucking roundabouts. Tourists have no idea how to use them and get “frozen” waiting to dart in.
