Maybe in Oregon, but driving up and down I-81 or I-95 will not fill one
with love for truckers. Your description of the 4x4 drivers fits truckers
on this coast perfectly. The double-bottom Fedex trucks seem to be the
worst.

Truck traffic is too heavy to fit on one lane—that’s the problem. So, they
are constantly changing lanes, and squeezing out cars so they can climb a
hill 5mph faster than a truck at crawl speed.

As for me, I can only attend rallies I can reach in one day, but over a
weekend or between weekends is a bit less of a concern. Generally, I would
prefer not to spill deeply into two weeks, so that I can plan work travel
more easily. But that hasn’t kept me from attending a rally. Distance has.
