Thanks, Chris -

It's been about three years since I've been over 'Volfen Creaker" (as some of us used to call it), but IIRC the roof of that slideshed has a pretty good slant to it, and is much farther above the pavement in the far-right uphill lane than in the middle or downhill lanes, so I'm not too surprised that a K-36 or K-37 on a lowboy trailer could get through.  The new tunnel well east of the summit would be much more of a challenge — except that the old road around the point of the cliff is still in place, and provides an easy alternate route without clearance problems (IF you have a key to the gate, that is . . . )
