My "Mistake" I unloaded the Windows in Fort Worth the salsa load was a town outside DallasTwoIfByTea » 6 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ I was probably last there 2020/2021 in a Big Truck.
Picked up a load of Salsa a wharehouse in Ft Worth destined for Costco "D/C in Salt Lake City.
When I had time liked to take the " Back-Roads" instead of Interstate used to like stopping the little towns eat at a local joint instead of the Big Chain truckstops also just see something different too.
I had loaded on thursday didnt have 2 be there until tuesday morning so I took my time and the back roads that haul

So, is the town "sketch" as I remember it? Or was I just so tired, cold and delusional that I wouldn't know Jackson Mississippi from Palm Beach, Florida?TwoIfByTea » 31 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ I was probably last there 2020/2021 in a Big Truck.

Yeah we live there.Skans » Today, 7:33 am » wrote: ↑ Is Wichita Falls, Tx you neck of the woods? I was there, once, in 1994. I was riding my motorcycle from the east coast, trying to make it out to the Grand Canyon.
When I pulled into Wichita Falls, it was cold and rainy; I had heard it was snowing in Amarillo - it was almost exactly to the date this time of year too! Hardley anyone on the main road either. I have to say, I wasn't much impressed by this town. It seemed pretty sketch, and someone actually stole one of my footpegs off of my bike.
Anyway, I found some run-down motel run by a Dot family in town. They were all run by Dots back then. I walked in to the check-in and asked if they had hot running water. The Dot said yes. So, I paid $10 for the night. The room was typical roach-motel, complete with a couple live roaches. Ceiling was warped and stained. The tub/shower just had a pipe coming out of the wall to put water into the tub. But, the Dot didn't lie - the water was hot. The room even had heat So, I filled up that tub with hot water and soaked for a couple of hours trying to get rid of my hypothermia. I hung my wet cloths over the heater to dry them out. Then, I fell asleep for about 10 hours. I was good-to-go the next day........warmer...........dry............and less my left highway-peg.

For a small city roughly the Size of Kenosha Wisconsin or Waukegan Illinois ya gotta allotta "Freeways" unusual a town 90 thousand people but ya aint gotta slam your breaks hard 15 stoplights neither
And Kenosha if ya reading ya could blink most of em at night.
Also "synchronize" like down in Illinois ya wanna know why so many people blow Red Lights ya just get em going posted speed limit & 5 block later red light

I will say Kenosha thru the "City" needs do like a "Small Town" uo North and 25 mph and Cops "Enforce" that.
But drug overdosed and shootings today Kenosha Cops dont have the "Resources" do basic Traiffic Detail anymore & write tickets they got much bigger problems today deal with
