"Always" patrolled. Any blip on your detector should be considered active as long distances and few targets. Rolling clock capable(personal experience). Lance Creek and Gurnsey alternate routes but tougher roads. Roads marked for air but yet to see one.

Comment (12/2002): Received two during 2001 headed to Denver along this stretch about 5 miles north of Lusk (heading into town). Both times cop was in incoming lane and made u-turn after clocking me.

Comment (5/2003): I just drove this stretch recently. Didn't see a single cop, but that doesn't mean they are not out there from time to time. It is a nice scenic route, and the deserted look of it may tempt some into speeding. Be careful! One never knows...
