Got up at 5 am local time. The TA truck stop was PACKED tight. Difficult to get around in the parking lot with all the trucks and ice. There were also trucks lined up down the road too. One truck got stuck in the ice trying to get out and had the road blocked. The cops and a wrecker were there trying to get him out. Tried to get fuel while I was there but they were out of fuel. I managed to get out by going out the "in" and driving the wrong way down the divided road to the stop light.
The roads were still horrible in Denton. I got to the place at the University of North Texas where I'm delivering, and backed in off the main road. This is what it looks like. That ice layer is several inches thick. And yes, that is solid ice. You could ice skate on it if you had skates.
Once I got empty I drove back to Oklahoma City to load three more sections. Got there right at noon local time and was fifth in line. Finally got loaded. Was the last one they loaded today.
Left there and drove to the WinStar Casino at the Oklahoma / Texas state line on I-35. Didn't want to go back to that TA again. That place was a mess!! This place is HUGE!! Had a great dinner at the Grand Buffet.
