Yup. But having to shove back to make a run for the hill on the second attempt, then having to triple the hill (making a total of three "lap-backs"}, then dying on the Law and deadheading in (it was still an additional 100 miles at that time) made for a very prifitable day for the four-man crew! My recollection is that the Asst. RFE even bought lunch!
