    Just came over Snoqualmie right before the sign went up. It was skookum. Chained over the blues on 84 this morning.

    Broke a 3 railer. It's going to be a long, long winter. '

    chains were up from sacramento to reno last week.

    i got half way up donners before chaining, ground was dry, caltrans said i had 10 miles to go. i told him i'd do where it's not snowing and i can stay dry. by the time i was chained, there was 2 inches on the ground.

    tis nice to have doppler on the phone.

    My card just received 3 days ago. shows rear trailer axle ONLY.

    None of the pics or any of the words say staggered is allowed.

    OK...just like the change to allow Modified Max (single chains outside tires drives), the handout card doesn't reflect that as well. I will get the link or quote for everyone.

    Amen. I've used 3 railers and they are a PITA to install without taking the time to drop your trailer, and never seem to get as snug as singles. I carry 8 singles if I'm going through Oregon, as you need 2 spares. Otherwise 6 singles.
