    Well, I was going to take another day or two, but just like in The Godfather, " They pulled me back in." With a high enough paying load going way, way, way up in the forested regions of Washington.
    What if it snows? You gotta carry more chains than tires up there you know.

    If this thread doesn't get as much exposure as IluvCATS Colorado thread, I'm going to feel really bad.

    Remember when I had Blackie? But now I'm old and decrepit.

    @Dave_in_AZ

    Just to clarify, if you start losing traction, toss a couple Elog tablets under the drives. Try that before you have to get chains out. I have one you can use.
