I've driven that HWY 82 here in Colorado with the state truck and a trailered boat. That rig is a '99 Chevy 1 ton four door dually (aka: ambulance) with a 22 foot Hewes Craft behind it. Yeah, there is a pucker factor .... but it's doable even in the monster rig I drove through there.

been on the dragon numerous times, 1st time I thought it was a straight shot to TN, boy was I wrong,
