Windy Weather And Wide Loads...._DSC4265

taken through the windscreen.
We had to pull off the road to allow these trucks to pass. They trays that they were carrying are for mine trucks and they're about 8 metres wide.
The caravan at the left of the image belongs to friends that we were travelling with ( Our van is just as dirty). After spending several days driving on dirt roads, we have a big clean up to do.
wow, those are some pretty wide trucks there!

Hope they had a police escort.

Well spotted.

Just goes to show the size of the mine trucks!! Awesome.

Amazing!! I first thought they were pools! And I see a dark and stormy sky too :)

Looks like the mining boom is back on! By the look of that dirt, you had a great trip 😄

Good gracious - I'd say that was a wide load!

@narayani It sure does, we came across 4 of these on the way home. We had a great trip. From Wooramel we headed up through the Kennedy Ranges and across to Mt Augustus, then back through Mullewa and Dalwallinu to home.

Oh wow, that all looks very dicey in such strong winds.

@golftragic It wasn't too bad. They have a couple of escort vehicles in front so you have plenty of time to get off the road. We also travel with a CB radio and the escorts report on the width of the load.

@gilbertwood That was our first thought too Denise. We came across two more that were pink!

@merrelyn I've actually driven an escort vehicle a couple of times when we were transporting field silos to the farm. The CB would be very handy though, particularly when you've got a caravan on. PS I first thought they were pools too.

I’ve never seen such a wide load! Great capture.
