    Bungees keep the doors open....since the "other "drivers"" can't be bothered to get the broken chain latches replaced after they break them off!

    Donner???

    Nah...I-5 master now...Tracy - Portland .....back and forth back and forth......Siskiyou maybe! Not today...72* when I crested the summit with my 4200 pounds of "freight" in the box!

    The white stuff hit donner today..chain controls went up.

    A coworker of mine called me leaving sacramento and said we might have to chain up. I was like nice try dude. I had no chains either as we had to take them all off this summer...Got home and a friend calls me later and tells me chain controls were up. Almost shat myself..Its only september...geez

    Chain law went up 2106 pm on 9/22 over Monarch, then 3:57 am 9/23 over Loveland. They didn't bother to plow EB I-70, so all the flatlanders, steering wheel holders and "I'll wait" crowd forgot to put their chains on. Totally shutdown EB 70 to the Tunnel and Vail for over 3 hours. Hear tell, 4 $1,000 tickets were issued.

    That's right boys and girls, keep screwing up, pretty soon that'll be a $1,500 fine.
