    @storm rider
    If you gota chain up, chances are theres a whole other line of guys chaining up too. Just go up to one that is puting his chains on and let him know you will give him a hand puting his chains on if he shows you how to put them on.

    Summer's over in WY....Running E/B on 80 past Little America....Two 4-wheelers spun out....Two E/B rigs....One off on the shoulder...The other facing W/B.....

    Driver coming up to the wrong way rig was cussing him out on the radio.....Telling him he'd better get the #### out of "his way" or he wasn't going to stop.....

    Note to all you so called "experts"....What's the point of cussing out a driver who screwed up?

    What's done is done...How about helping the driver out?
