Thanks, Rick. They are a lot newer than my 1994 Chevy S-10, also.

Nice clouds Jim. All those rigs are newer than my Dakota, and probably have
less than my 174,000+ miles. (sigh.)
Mooser note: When we lived in the PNW ('76-'82) it was a Ford 250 with a
10' camper, and weekends in the Cascades..

Yes, I agree that location has a big influence on what one encounters in
the way of transportation. As I have mentioned previously, we are in the
corner of several counties that have hilly terrain and lakes, so trucks are
very popular for their ground clearance and towing power. As I eat
breakfast each morning, I am watching traffic on one of two favorite
arteries into rural Moore County, home to the Jack Daniels distillery, and
I would estimate that half of the vehicles are trucks. But, I also see an
occasional Jaguar, BMW and Land Cruiser, and a lot of various types of
Jeeps.

I read this week that the American auto makers made their money this
year with increased truck sales. This is evident in the fast food parking
lot where I went to eat on Friday night. After a day of rain, the skies are
smiling once more.

Our travels regularly take us into rural and back country areas. There
are lots of Priuses, Smart Cars, Fiat 500s, etc. in our urban area. Out in
the woods, they are almost entirely replaced by trucks. I'm sure I saw more
long wheelbase, crew cab, four wheel drive trucks with AT tires and step
bars to climb in just while eating breakfast in Garberville than I could
see in a week at home.
Good Buddy Moose
