This stretch of highway has the highest population of regular gay truckers. If you are a male it is not even safe to use the restroom at the truck stops on Highway 289. In fact, when passing trucks it is often the safest bet to keep your eyes forward. If you even make eye contact many of these truckers will take this as a sign of agression and will most likely push your vehicle off the side of the road. Many never come back from such encounters. |
