    That's the one. I realized coming east today, that a few of the passes on I-90 get overlooked. Namely, Cardwell Pass and Bozeman Pass.

    While neither of these passes are as, um, sexy, as Homestake, Snoqualmie, Lookout, Cabbage, etc, they definitely demand respect in the winter.

    Man, I've been on both of those when they scared the crap out of me. (I grew up in Montana, I literally learned how to drive, in the insane winter conditions that Montana generates.)

    I'm getting a little concerned about The OM turning into a road savage.

    What did it do? Swing on the curtains now?

    Find some catnip, just a little bit when parked for it. Allow it some playtime. But not too much. It will be fine when they sleep it off.

    Maybe she's getting tired of riding in the truck.
    My sister had two cats that rode with her for many years. But as time went on the older one didn't like it too well anymore. He got to where if she drove past the freeway exit to their house he would get on the dash and stare at her while he stomped his feet.
    Then he would crawl into his cubby and not come out for the rest of the day. :angryfire:

    That is the look of contemplation of how to get rid of the human that is holding things back.

    I met Brittany today. She's about the size of my foot. A real sweetheart. 20200228_053229.jpg 20200228_053229.jpg

    There were trucks trying to run that last winter to get around road closures. I was eating lunch at a diner in Cool and they were telling me of the idiots the CHP had caught

    No just the opposite. I think she wants to truck all the time. I mean everyone needs out of the truck for awhile every once in awhile, but she's definitely right at home on the road.

    When The OM goes into growl, it's every man himself.
