My first time......

You'll also need some singles for the trailer. When you get to Utah dial 511 for road reports. Often Parlay will have chain law but Echo won't, a few miles further, although if you are going to Ogden you will stay on 84 through Echo but it may help you if you are reloading further South.

 

That's all good in theory Dick. But what would you do when all hell breaks loose when your 3/4 of the way up Vail? Officer's aren't going to allow you to sit & wait it out. There is no place to park.... You will have no choice but to put them on & continue your trip!

 

You mean you can't just stop on the road and tell them, "I'm scared and I'm not moving till spring"?

 

Take the doubles back and get singles. The singles stay on better and do less damage when flying off.

4 bungies per wheel smaller than the rim.

 

DJ, I lived in Ogden (Hill AFB) for a couple of years. Those hills can get hit pretty heavy with what the locals call "lake effect" snow. As the wx comes off the desert, it picks up alot of moisture from the Salt Lake, which gets dumped on the west side of the Wasach range (just east of Ogden). Basically, when there's snow forcast, the west side gets hit hardest.

Be prepared. Safe run to you, sir.

 

If you shake hands with one of the locals, count your fingers afterward. Hang onto your wallet. When they try to convert you, tell them you are a Jehovah's Witness.

Now you may think this was posted in fun. . .

 

I am not looking forward to my drive tonight from Cheyenne through UT to Boise.

No no I am not.

 

What Redd said-- if you don't intend to chain up, don't go past the point of no return. Once past that you must chain no if ands or buts. You will see "Chain up Area- 30 Minutes, No Parking" signs.

Accident in the snow I'm told is not automatically "Preventable" so get that rumor out of your head too : - )
