OT Large van in traffic accident

Clearfield County was one of our sites. It was a sleepy little operation -- until something went down on I80. The highest point on I80 east of the Mississippi was there so it could get interesting in the winter.

The Tpk used to be excellent in the winter, but like everything else it's a shitshow now. They have to contribute 30% (IIRC) of their revenue to PennDot by edict of a former gov and the fares rise 6% / year. They are widening the stretch between the E/W and Allentown to 3 lanes each way. They created a pile of spoils 90' high without public knowledge. Who did you work for? Email is good...

Ah yes, milepost 111.5

I had a contract in Ft. Wayne and I was going back to NH around Christmas time. There was a sort of a blizzard going on and I was following a car that looked like it had recently shed some front end bodywork. I can't remember where it was but I came to an exit with a motel and figured I'd deal with it tomorrow. In the morning I had a nice breakfast of scrapple and went on my way. The storm had blown through and it was a nice day.

The irony was I took I80 instead of I90 since I figured there would be less weather problems.
