WYDOT's saying it could be a "long time" before they get the road opened again. Now a lot of the people are coming over Pine Creek Pass, through Victor, and over Teton Pass that normally would just go through the canyon. Glad I'm usually at home or at work during rush hour.

Too bad they couldn't get a dragline in there. One scoop and it'd be clear. I've stood in the bucket and they are huge. Second pic shows a full size Chevy pickup parked in it.

it's still moving, that drag link would not be able to do anything & chances are would only be damaged/destroyed...

Oh and woke up to this in Wyoming...
