Might want to call it the annual Hi-Line Scatterfest. Seems to happen in either Eastern Montana or North Dakota. Remember the one that crashed and burned west of Minot a couple years ago?

No detour route until the 23rd so nothing moves in Montana until they get it open, would not be surprised if it takes them less than a day. #7/#8 had just made it through, will see if they get cancelled or bus bridged tomorrow.

They left Seattle nearly 2 hours late. Wonder if they'll run it past Spokane.
