What if it Snows?

Dude. The OM. LMFAO

When we were coming up to those six trucks that had spun out, The OM is like, " You should put the chains on, that ice is pretty thick."
And I was like, " You're right, but if we stop be fore that grade, we're definitely not going to get going again unless we chain."

So I went for it and made it. That little grade is maybe 1/2 mile. Three more big trucks bit the dust, or gave up just over the crest that's where the 18 mile grade starts.

About 5 or 6 miles down there's another little up grade. steeper but shorter. But it's still heavy traffic, speed is less than 5 mph. Down grade is 4 to 6 percent.

So before that grade, bear is pushing this stuck mini van down the grade, in the hammer lane. Mini gets momentum, pulls in front of me.

The OM is like," We're going to F'd now, cause she's terrified and she's going to stop in front of us."
Bear stays next to her for like 3/4 mile, coaxing her along. No one is passing me, lots of head lights behind, couple trucks. I'm about 200 feet behind them.

We go up the grade which also sweeps left and slopes left. Mini mom keeps her mo up.
BUT, another DPS goes by me, cause there's some chic with a trailer ( toy / horse ) tangled up with some other dude with the same set up in the hammer lane / median at the top of the curve, just past the crest.

Only one car crashed / wiped out going up on the travel lane side up against the guard raile, and it's fairly buried on the upgrade.
SO
The OM is like," Get over on the zipper."
We get nar the top and..........................traffic stops.
The OM is like," We're in some real pretty #### now aren't we?"
And I'm like," Well, if we start to jackknife, I'll put on some iron."
So we spun for second, grabbed, and got going.

Made it by the farmers, then had clear road the rest of the way down, about 10 miles, free of 4 wheelers for the most part.

Then The OM goes in the sleeper, puts on some Leppard, and then goes into growl.

 

They had " CHAINS RECOMMENDED " up. Well recommended and required are two very different things lol.

 

Oh yea, just left there lol.
