Idaho us-95 between I-84 Ontario Or
& I-90 Coeur d'Alene

no chain law in affect, some trucks have a set of singles on the drives but not many. most going through dont.

 

Pulled into a rest area to take a 10, The snow plows started about an hr ago

Last night the roadway looked similar to this before I puled into tge rest area. cars spinning out, pace was 25 to 55 due those sharing the road.



since the road was pretty much snow packed in lower elevations I expected higher elvations to be worse. The road dept jumped on it I guess..







its all good

 

THAT'S not a snowplow... that's the Gates of Hell.

 

Just passin thru, no need to get stressed on Hells Canyon and the Seven Devils that take up residence.

gotta learn to relax some

 

I don't chain, never have and never will.

 

Good. One less truck to worry about.

 

and you're paid to sit.. got it. just be sure you're off the road in a safe cozy place when you decide to sit and let the rest got on with it. thanks in advance

 

Don't worry, I am not on the road. I am retired and drive when I please, and driving in snow doesn't please me - I get paid very well to sit on my couch watching football, shooting, etc. I drive to help when folks are in a bind, not for a living. Living in Reno I regularly drive Donner. Too many dip ####s crashing when it's dry, even worse in the winter. My hat's off to those that like to throw iron.
