Freedom Convoy people convoy 2022

how funny is this?  This is my sister n law, we did not plan on meeting.  My late gator was a trucker for many years he had over 3 million accident-free miles.  Gator I did this in your honor and to support our truckers

peaceful protesting on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  Cheering on the truckers before the convoy arrives

Passing by, 7000 cars/semis/motorcyles.  They were escorted from the TX state line to the MO state line by the OHP (great job guys/gals) one highway patrolman came by where we were at before it arrived making sure we were all ok and that it was not going to be anything bad happening. Proudness is not even close to the word.  I was standing weeping as they came past us.

If you live close enough to see this in person I would truly recommend.   in this pic the convoy was over 39 miles as you can see the truckers on the upper bridge joining the convoy.
