[Ansteorra] Gulf Wars Trailers

[Haraldr Bassi]

It seemed obvious to me that those roads do go somewhere. I went up that way to park and 
encountered a trucker with a semi cab and I believe a full size rig that he had detached up 
there somewhere and seemed like he was wondering if he could make it through. Would have ended 
up trying to bring a semi through 5 points.... uggh... he backed up and went back the way he had 
come in.
