Wanna run across the ice in canada now???

The ice roads in the Northwest Territories are speed limited to 15km per hour (about 8mph) when loaded and 30km per hour (about 18mph) . This is so a wave doesn't build up in front of the truck blow the ice at the Portages. Trucks are req'd to stick with a partner truck and you are NOT allowed to leave them. Here is a link with a few details.

I love that kind of stuff. Probably something I should have done when I was younger. I used to love cold weather. Now when it gets cold my body hurts in places I never knew I had when I was a young buck.

 

I was talking to a person from canada last year and he gave me his phone number but i lost it and I would jump at it in a heart beat to drive on that ice like

Just me and my wife that would be Great and peaceful and i could turn on the CB and not hear it cluttered up with Foul language

 

I hope that you Southern Yankees don't think that this picture was taken in August.

It was probably taken in January and a way up North somewhere, or accross a lake. But, it make it look like we Canadians are all eskimo's and living in Igloos.:smt100

it was taken in the North West Territory on the Main Strip of Highway constructed across Big Bear Lake

 

Cool......or should I say "Freezing."

They Can only send out a truck or a team of trucks out every 12 minutes to give the time for the wave under the ice to calm down. Really good pay though. so ive heard

 

Anybody wants to sign up for it? I know a company looking for guys to do it. I would be there in a heartbeat if I hadnt just signed on with a new outfit.

 

I would be interested in doing that. do you still have the company's name who was looking for drivers?
