Ready, Set, Go
Due to the mess the weather has made of the mountain passes (mudslides and avalanches), all the major passes have been closed for several days. The semis line the freeway near our house, waiting for the pass to open so they can get rolling and get back to work. Although you can't read it, the sign in the photo says "Pass Closed".

Great ready, set, go shot.
ReplyDeleteThey were just talking about this on the news (I'm in Idaho) and I thought about your pictures from yesterday.
ReplyDeleteNice take on the theme.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of trucks! Wow!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of this week's theme. That is alot of trucks waiting to roll
ReplyDeleteYou're so on theme, Pat!
ReplyDeleteHaha, did they get them rolling yet? Great interpretation Pat!
ReplyDeleteWow! Can't wait for a sunny day and a day without rain! Great capture!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot.
ReplyDeleteSo annoying for them, to be stuck! Love your picture!!
ReplyDeleteNeat idea for a picture (and educational for those who don't live in mountainous regions!)
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of trucks on a row. I thought it was a train at first!
ReplyDeleteLove your pic! What a great shot!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe it when all the passes AND I-5 were closed. It's been a pretty incredible winter weather-wise thus far don't you think?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to miss spending time with you tomorrow, but I totally understand why you want to stay close to home. I hope Rick is feeling better soon and that all goes perfectly smoothly on Friday.
Wow....that is really neat. I had no idea this happened but it totally makes since! That is just a huge line of trucks.
ReplyDeleteI've been hoping you've been ok, with all the scary news coming from out your way. You certainly get very interesting things to look at all around you!
ReplyDeletewhat a backlog! sure glad they can get going again.
ReplyDeleteI feel for them, I've been stuck in long lines of traffic when I-80 closes. It just happened to me a couple of weeks ago, but thankfully only for four hours. How fun that you thought to "shoot" them! :)
