Published on Oct 10, 2012after passing the CLEAR sign, no trailers, rvs pass this point,,,, this old man drove his trailer into the windiest road ive been on... he passed through a tunnel where he tore off his accessories and now hes stuck on the side of the road and no one can get by,,, everyone got together and using bits of knowledge, experience and tools from each of these guys,, they finally pulled it off.
The only difference between that idiot and myself is that I got away with it. While pulling a boat behind the 9 foot tall veggie van I got lost and ended up on cars only roads, twice. One road was so curvy I could see my own tail lights. There other had low bridges that I only got under by straddling the center line to get under where the bridge arched a bit.
Best one I ever ran across was a guy delivering a brand new double wide had tried to go through a tunnel. The front of the trailer hit dead center on the top of the entrance at speed and just exploded. There were literally piles of broken lumber, glass and shit laying all across both lanes and they had to bring in a front loader to shove it out of the way. There wasn't much left on the trailer, cleaned it off front to back.
I have spent a great deal of time on that site before...... Pretty amazing that they don't do something like hang a chain across a couple inches lower way out front as a go-no go warning.

The guy with the winch saved the day there.
