. . . way up on the Great Divide,

Those runaway truck ramps are one of the best thing Colorado Dept. of Highways ever did. I didn't see this one in person but have seen various items strewn about the highway and on the ramps by runaway trucks.
This one was beer and energy drinks. Makes me wish CW McCall were still writing songs.

Could be. I saw them in Colorado long before I saw them in California.

It's ironic that Harry Chapin was killed by a Pathmark 18-wheeler on the L.I.E. (He may have had a heart attack first.)
