82, how far eastbound did you get? We just went from 71, split. We're passing the mountain exit, not seeing anything. Yeah, so we made it to, we got off at 71 south, and we saw absolutely nothing. Traffic was moving just fine. Alright, I'm pretty comfortable code 4-ing it. We saw this big yellow crimp, but it looked intact and it didn't look like anything was below it. Hey, was that you guys that we saw that was on 70 west? Yeah, probably. Yeah, I got it.
