What if it Snows?

@D.Tibbitt how was Lookout when you came across? See that EB is shutdown due to a jack knife, but know that'll be cleared well before I get there in the morning.

 

You picked a good day to escape. Tmrw over lookout pass is supposed to be sunny. Im hoping i can deliver in seattle reload in tacoma and get up and over the pass tmrw evening even if i only make the scale house in Haugan atleast it will put the pass in my mirrors. . its supposed to snow everyday for the next 2 weeks except tmrw .... Be careful over in livingston/big timber area mile marker 330-400 in montana on i90. Always Some real heavy winds thru that area when its storming. 60+ mph is normal for gusts out there.

 

It was snowing but not sticking. I got loaded just at the bottom on idaho side in wallace idaho. It was getting heavier as I left about 1pm. It probably got icey and guys driving to fast up that hill eastbound when they are empty going thru the curves. Always somebody jacknifed thru there.

 

I'll take the first strike option. Wouldn't want to be around for the crap the happens after

 

Yup, like the guys who lose it on the last EB curve of 84 just before you get to La Grande. I had a slightly higher paying load but it didn't weigh enough, it's the time of year I like to be heavy.

 

Yes heavy is good this time of year. There is a couple ways to reroute around lookout and 4th of july pass if they are closed or you dont wanna chain up. I did a couple times last year when it got shutdown for wrecks. Just pick up us95 in coure d'alene idaho go north to sandpoint and pickup highway 200 and take that east about 120 miles or so, to us93 then go south on us93 . comes out right at the truckstops in missoula. No mountain grades to pull that route but its about 45 minutes longer than the interstate . but a good route if the interstate is shutdown.

 

Can't argue with that, it's a solid plan.
