To start this tour use the "Play" > arrow in the controller bar on the bottom left of the map. (You can pause this play function and navigate around at your leisure and open placemark information windows if you wish.)
I imported an original Google Map made by the All Against the Haul people in Montana into the Google Earth 3D program and added placemark locations on a few selected Idaho Highway 12 bridges and narrow places. I was also able to find a 3D Heavy Transport truck model in the Google 3D Warehouse that looks generally similar to one of the megaloads and placed a copy of this at these selected locations.(Here is a link to the 3D truck model created by Nasranejsanta)
All Against the Haul also has a Facebook page where they are posting regular updated news on Megaload travel locations and other issues citizens in Idaho, Montana and Canada would be interested in.
In the Google Earth6 Browser we can now use the "Street View" to move into and look around at interactive photographic panorama views of each of these locations, but I was unable to get that function to work in the embedded Google Earth Plugin tour above. This might be possible to do, but so far I have not found the solution. Meanwhile if you open this KMZ file in the Google Earth 6 Browser and play the MegaloadTour (Play this first) file you can see these street views yourself. Pause the controller bar and move up and down the highway to see how it really looks photographically, as if you are driving along the the same Highway 12 as the Megaloads.
