@MasonsMama127 Thank you masonsmama127 I really dont think these mega loads will make any change to that highway except for road closers at some nights

I would love to come back it was very nice there

Saying driving thru at night ruins the tourist industry in Idaho is quite a stretch. In fact, saying that Idaho has a tourist industry at all is a stretch.

You fucks are stupid! The megaloads are for a oil refinery that makes gas! Dont you all drive cars! If it wasnt for truck loads you wouldnt have anything!

You guys need to explain exactly what a "Mega Load" is. What are you talking about saftey? Is it you thing they are ugly, I don't know what you beef is.

I live on Highway 12. Ive driven it for years. I drove it after the mega loads moved. It seems to look the same..feel the same. The river ran the same way. I saw wildlife..the same as before they moved it. Ive spoken to the men and women who came from out of town to help move it..they told me that idaho was beautiful and they would love to come back. It seems that Its all a bunch of wasted energy to complain about.

robert9291, your claim that the coke drum is Canadian made & delivered; why was it sent to Lewiston, ID to be trucked to Montana? Seems very out-of-the-way to go.

[robert9291]

First off, this is smoke and mirrors!! These people can't/won't tell the truth!!! The picture of the coke drum in the background when the first woman was on, was a canadian made and canadian delivered shipment!!!! That has nothing to do with HWY12 or Idaho!!! She mentioned "All American Road", isn't all of the roads here All American??? The one dude mentioned big oil maximizing their profits, that's what goes on in a capitlistic society, right? Reflections Inn hasn't missed one quarter.
