I am not sure of your point.

Progress and growth pains? We'll trade you... you have our problems and Illinois will take yours... just saying.

Not really trying to make a point just passing on info that some may appreciate. As for me, I don't care to ride with a lot of trucks on the road and it looks like they have a major DUI problem. I am happy for them and their economic boom.

A lot of states would love to have these problems, I suspect. At least jobs are being created and money is being spent.

Like I said, I am happy for them and they boom. I also look at it as an example of what we (USA) could do if we developed all our hydrocarbon reserves and pipelines to go with them!!

Having said all that, I am going to practice the art of "situational awareness" when I go west and north this summer.

Thanks for the heads up Bill.
If I get to ND, I'll be sure and not spend all my money in the strip joint on beer, hookers and low quality heroin.
Not with the cheap motels costing $130 a night.

My brother-in-law is currently driving a semi between SD and ND on a regular basis. The traffic is abominable and he wouldn't go near the place on a motorcycle. Dangerous enough for us normally besides having the extra traffic without a road system to support it.
