Fought some vicious crosswinds coming up the Vantage Hill on Friday...those who live in WA may be familiar with this area that's known for strong winds. 35mph winds that day and 50mph gusts according to the radio. Gets scary when trucks get blown outta their lane.

Thanks for yer help
I'm glad everything turned out good for you. I am planning a two day travel over into Ark Hwy 7. Going to check out Petit Jean Mountain and Hot Springs. Guess I better get a quart of oil for the engine, if needed. If not, I can drink it. he he he he!!
