As we drove through Saint Louis today I noticed that the grass is green and the trees have blossoms. That's good to see.

Expediting is easier in nice weather. The trucks are cleaner. You don't have to put on extra clothes to go outside. Roads get closed less frequently. It's always nice to leave winter in the rear view mirror.

LOL! Yeah, now we are going to be coated in bugs, face hours of delays caused by summer construction and have to dodge every tourist in the country who just put in a 8 hour work day and now is going to drive 20 hours straight to get to the beach for 36 hours of heavy drinking then speed back home all hung over. It is always nice to leave summer in the rear view mirror! :p

Yes I'm enjoying spring...looking forward to those achey muscles from raking and cleaning up the winter debris. Little sprouts of green coming up from the bulbs and flowers. Trees with their buds have yet to show a leaf, but the bitter cold is gone and the April rains have started and most of the snow is melted.:)

While spring season I like to have long travel rather than driving, while traveling we can enjoy the season, nature climate, road, shy and more but while driving need to give more concentration than enjoying.

Spring???, Bah humbug!!!! 2 days after spring was official, we had to chain up on I-5 near Weed,CA.

First time ever having to chain in almost 9 years of expediting.

Well, it doesn't seem like many see things the same as you. But I do. I have noticed all the signs of spring and love it. Bring it on full force. Winter has been a hard one this year. I will sneeze a little, but blooming, thriving vegetation is nice to see. Happy clear warm trails to us all!

You can have that heat. There is just NO way possible to get comfortable when it is hot. At least when it gets cold I can always dress to stay warm. When it get hot there is NOTHING I can do to stay cool.

You can tell it's spring because all the rest areas are full of motor homes and RV's. Do they really need to put the slide outs out, taking up two parking spots?
