One of the things that surprised me when I first got into doing this is the precautions used by law enforcement. We pick up the mortars from a company about 50 miles south of us. (actually we contract with the company to put on their shows) We are required to submit a detailed route we will take when transporting the material to the State Highway Patrol. Included in that are depart times, and estimated times of arrival to our destination. We must call and notify the Highway Patrol the moment we arrive. If they don't hear from us in a timely manner, folks get very very nervous. And of course the truck we use is placarded with all the required warnings of "explosives on board."
