It was a very pleasant and unexpected thing to see that a Halloween event had started in the truck simulator (Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator) games today!
They have even created a separate area (Brackenreach) to celebrate Halloween and to deliver some Halloween themed cargo.
Preparing for the journey to Brackenreach with my Halloween-ishly(?) decorated Volvo, hauling some 20 tons of Halloween treats.
"There is a horror story about a mad truck driver who would try to scare other drivers by driving full speed in the middle of the road with high beams on..." (the truth: a very sleepy truck driver)
Arriving at Brackenreach.
Sceneries like these are certainly something I would have never expected to see my Volvo in.
Picking up some cargo from the "Castle Brackenhelm". The trailer has a very appropriate license plate "WITCHES".
When trying to leave Brackenreach one must be prepared to encounter some bumps in the night.
Returning to "normal world". The contrast between these areas is striking but now there's enough light to show off my Halloween themed truck interior too!
Great event, I must say!
Brackenreach was a sight to behold and after my first visit there are still some unmapped roads to travel. A word of warning for anyone who wants to go there: I recommend a truck configuration that packs enough punch to climb some steep hills, but also agile enough as there are plenty of swamps, caves and very narrow paths ahead. I was driving a Volvo FH6 with 500HP engine and I had to use my differential lock to be able to climb a hill while hauling 20+ tons of cargo.
