Easier parking......I wanted to get past the tunnels tonight....But running 5 mph or less up Vail ruined that plan...

Oh well....The load will get there when it gets there....

We're supposed to get a break tomorrow morning and then by the afternoon another storm is supposed drop around 6" or more......

 

I'm thinking...it is definitely winter in the Rockies!!!!

 

Snoqualmie was wet today, light snow east of Emigrant. Some schmoe dumped a tanker east of Baker on I84 last night, and had the entire highway shutdown for awhile. Looks like I'm coming across right after the mess!



...but I'll be in the middle of the next one.

 

Just helped a driver cut a lock of his tire chain rack. Actually couldn't cut the lock, cut the latch the lock was securing.
It's my understanding you risk the same ticket of not being able to access chains, as not having them.

 

Hey Otter... besides the spider not being applied correctly, he's got that extra chunk of chain just hanging. Anything else on that fool chaining up in Ontario?

 

I'm probably totally insane, but right now, as I sit in my nice warm office, looking out the window at just moderately overcast skies, and a temperature near 50 degrees, I would just love to be rolling on I-70 between GJ & Den.

 

Video will give you reason to get excited about chaining. (If you like girls in bikinis putting on chains).

Does anyone here have the On Spot chains? If so, how do they work for you?
