    Huh, there's a crash that's got both sides of I84 shut down between Pendleton and Hermiston.

    I-82 mile marker 12 is closed due to a multi truck accident. It is closed eastbound and westbound is chains all vehicles over Manastash Ridge.

    I had to chain yesterday on top of donners summit in california for the first time. Not fun having to chain those super single tires. And all my clothes got soaking wet including my boxers.
    better get used to chaining since i live out west.

    DUDE! If you are chaining up in your boxers, I'd bet it was more than your fingers that got cold!:p
    Was that the first time you had EVER chained up, or had you done it once or twice on a nice dry lot, in good weather, so you knew what you were doing?
     
    rpad139 Thanks this.
