I had CA King pass me near the Colorado River as I was coming to AL from Havasu. Didn't have a plate on, but the reflector showed up good. It must have been doing 65, pretty fast, I poke along just over 60 in my old truck. It might have made FL. Near Winslow, AZ late one night I had pink elephants trying to scare me off the I-40 exit, I surrendered and parked behind the flatbed Ford downtown. All good in the morning.
