I’m still on my best behaviour all the way back, because I want to be allowed out again. We go a different way with a stream, I like swimming but it’s a bit cold today. Aunty Elly and Katie head off a different way. We are off again, my mum calls me coz she’s getting cold. It tastes so good! My new friend turns up and we run around and around together bouncing and eating snow. The wind is blowing much harder and there’s a lot more soft white stuff. I sniff and play a little bit, but I need to keep up with my humans. We catch up to it coz mum and Aunty Elly and Katie are going fast. I’m curious and a bit shy, but it sounds friendly. I follow her through the bushes up the side of the frozen stream.Īnother dog barks in front of me. I can’t get a grip! “It’s icy!” calls out Katie. There’s white stuff and then it gets super slippery. Why do my humans keep stopping? Ooh, I smell something, I want to run and investigate, but remember I’m meant to be on my best behaviour. The wind gets blowy, but I’m nice and warm with my fur. Maybe I should go with them? It could be my dad, coz we go biking together sometimes. We go up a hill, down the other side, then up some bike tracks. I come when Aunty Elly calls coz she has treats in her pocket. I head off down a track that looks interesting, but we are going a different way. I have no idea where we’re going, but I don’t care - I’m going.
Freedom!! I zoom around on the big grassy area near Squirrel Lake. I drag Aunty Elly down the hill in front of mum and Katie, and pretty soon she lets me off the lead. YUS!! I decide to be on my best behaviour - I’d better not disappear off and bail possums up trees today. “Ok, but you’re responsible for her”, says mum. “Do you want to go for a run with us or a bike ride with dad?” asks my mum. OMG they’re all putting their shoes on!! Am I going too? Inspirational, funny, sad, delightful, everyday stories of running. It doesn’t have to be a race or a mountain summit - it might just be a run around the block - but it’s a run that sung to you for some reason. Spanning eight states Interstate 40 is a major cross country freeway connecting the Desert Southwest with the Southeastern United States.Greatest Run Ever is one of the most popular parts of the show, the bit where we ask you to write in to us and tell us your Greatest Run Ever. Starting in Barstow, California, the freeway generally follows the alignment of Historic U.S. 66 across the Mojave Desert into the high desert. Spanning the Colorado River west of Kingman, I-40 gains elevation on a course south of the Grand Canyon to the city of Flagstaff. Advancing east across New Mexico, the freeway spans the width of the state, converging with Interstate 25 in Albuquerque.Ĭontinuing to Amarillo, Interstate 40 transitions into the Great Plains in eastern New Mexico, leading into the Texas Panhandle. 66 at Oklahoma City, remaining generally eastward while U.S. Entering Arkansas, Interstate 40 trends southeast from Fort Smith along the Oklahoma state line to Little Rock. 70 east from the capital city to West Memphis. A short concurrency with I-55 precedes the Hernando DeSoto Bridge taking I-40 across the Mississippi River. Through Memphis, I-40 follows the northern arc of the inner beltway the southern half is I-240. The original planned alignment took I-40 across the city, using Sam Cooper Boulevard, a partially completed freeway/boulevard spur from the east toward Overton Park. Leaving Memphis, I-40 heads to Jackson and then Nashville, where it briefly overlaps with both I-65 and I-24. I-40 joins Nashville with Knoxville, overlapping with I-75 along an eight to ten lane freeway leading into the metropolitan area from Farragut.Ĭontraflow plans for Interstate 40, where all lanes of the freeway are switched to one-way traffic leading away from the coast, arose in 2003 during the threat of Hurricane Isabel, which packed 160 mile per hour winds at one point. Under the plan, North Carolina officials would convert 90 miles of I-40, from Wilmington north to I-95, so that all lanes accommodated westbound traffic during the evacuation phase of a major hurricane threat. The configuration will end several hours before the arrival of Gale Force or higher winds from the threatening storm. A maximum 12 hour window will be implemented for contraflow, so that emergency vehicles and other traffic needing to travel toward the coast can do so. 5Ĭontraflow was first implemented nationally in August 1999 when Hurricane Floyd threatened the Eastern Seaboard. 5 Interstate 16 leading west from Savannah, Georgia was switched to one-way traffic to aid in what was considered the largest peace time evacuation in U.S.
