CHAINING...are you ready?

Good Afternoon....

 

CHAIN LAW

70​

I-70 Eastbound Vail Pass (Milemarker 178-189.38)
EB only, chains all CMVs. EB truckers without chains should not proceed past the Dotsero exit, exit 133, until the EB Vail Pass chain law has been lifted. Restriction began January 12th, 2014 at 8:31am.

 

Apparently...

 

Nice & sunny just east of Bakersfield.

 

except for the "slight breeze" between Rawlins and Cheyenne ...............65+ mph gusts, with 40 mph sustained winds

Wouldn't want CDOT to have to work that hard, now would we

I spent Friday chained from Vail to Bakerville, dodging the 4-wheelers spun out and the trucks with full chains that spun out trying to avoid the 4-wheelers. Mid point to upper Vail looked like a mixed use parking lot.

On a side note, someone twisted 2 of my 6 chains into a tangled mess, still need to figure that out

 

You ever stop off at any one of the Bosque restaurants in Bakersfield?

 

I feel for ya....I really do.....

 

I learned how to throw chains last week. Had to put them on some moron that didn't have any and got stuck blocking the service plaza. I80 was open and I wanted to run. Better to learn putting them on someone else lol less pressure.
