CHAINING...are you ready?

Yeah, this would have been OK if the idiot hadn't blocked the roadway at the top of the grade. This was that long grade coming out of Cove Fort, but it was WB, west of Cove Fort.

A bit off topic, but on that same grade, back in '89 or '90 I was EB in my POV, on vacation. I noticed all these tarantulas moving across the highway! The road was literally covered with them, moving to the north. I found out later that it was a very unusual migration for them. That was the same year the Mojave was overrun with caterpillars and then butterflies. Strange year for "bugs. . ."

 

When I lived I Chino Hills...We used to get a lot of Tarantulas.....In fact...One Saturday coming back home from an English Class I was taking at Mt. SAC....I stopped to save a couple of them from becoming "Road Sap".....

Yeah I know...I'm weird...I like spiders......

 

"EACH TO THEIR OWN," said the old lady, as she kissed her cow. . .

 

Without our Eight-legged "friends"....The world would be over-run by six-legged pests....

All hail the spider....Ugly yes....Scary yes.....

But without them...Life would definitely suck...

 

Yep, God had a reason for each and every one of the creatures He designed! I'm not fond of "creepy crawlies" or snakes, but I won't harm one unless it is a threat, or inside my home.

 

I've been across that way a few times, but never seen that migration.

 

To get us back on track: I wonder if chaining would help when crossing those "slick migrations?"
