<<< kinda a facepalm


and damn they havent cleared that highway yet? leave at 3am yo ill buy breakfast at deals gap
that will have to do

i don't know if they have or not, just assuming they haven't, since i thought the estimated completion date was right around the time of our trip. being a government job, it will undoubtedly last an extra month or two. gotta pad those pockets...
i cant even find any info on tdot website regarding that closure

go up just north of pioneer, just south of the KY border. and turn on construction notices. it looks like they're at the point of paving now, so i guess they're ahead of the game. may even be open for our trip!

dang...can you get to fontana early for the breakfast run?
is there a facepalm smilie? i'd have to leave here at like 3am to make that shit! 5-6 hr drive, and now a huge chunk of the expressway fell down the side of the mountain, so i guess it's detoured or down to one lane. i'm sure it will cost us another hour. stiff clutch should be fun in that traffic

I heard that was opened back-up...Andy !!! Saw something on the news about it last week....Supposed to be back to normal ???
