    There didn't seem to be any Tim Hortons' or Dunkin Donuts around. DOT was probably nowhere to be found.

    All I can say is that those folks are heroes! :biggrin_25514:
    50 and 60 below zero?? :biggrin_25521: I guess they had some heat in their cab....
    But now I wonder... would they go all the way back empty?? :biggrin_2554: I would guess not....

    My dad hauled logs up in northern Alberta back in the late 80's. Said it would get down to like -60 or -70 with the wind chill.
