    That's my life... I love the long runs.

    Unless they broker something, that's about all they have running out of NorCal

    Driver, Donner Summit ain't nothing to fear. Theres a scale you hit on the Nevada to California side. Bring chains when it's required. descend the hill in a low gear. don't drink and drive.

    If your 500 miles or less.and hammer down, you can make it there for your 30 minute break, then head to Altoona. Huge flying J and a Casino across the street to park in.

    Exit 142 I believe.

    I finished all my beer yesterday. I don't touch it on the road. Just way to easy to get in trouble.
