That doesn't cut it Tim!!! Bob and Barry left Colorado covered in flour too and they still made it Friday afternoon and we helped them shine up the horses for Saturday.

Ok

Sorry, but chains or traction tires (Required at Klamth Falls to Mt. Shasta/Weed) were not an option for me. Ever see what a pair of chains that come loose does to a car?
I grew up driving a CS in this stuff, and it's not me I worry about, it's the other idiots. And I wasn't about to trailer (heaven forbid) the car down.
The flour fell for about 3-4" worth where we were, Looked like South Sisters flour to me, not Mt. hood!
See ya all another time

Well you KNOW we had to give you a hard time Tim. I know what loose chains can do and I also know the road from Klamath Falls to Shasta/Weed!!

Those logging trucks haul ass! They scared the crap outta me!

Glad you stayed safe and sound!

Ahh, yes, Oregon and the lovely open roads on the east side of the state

Tim, i know how those loggers drive especially on the east side. I grew up in Medford and logged in the winters out of prineville. Your better off keeping her home and wait for better weather. We got 8" on Sat. also. Mine hasn't left the garage for two weeks. WAH!

...DD, I meant for the 90 per... ;-)

Somewhere here I have pics of my yellow Mach chained up for 1.5' of snow. I had air shocks that I used to pump up for extra clearance. One year, I had M50x15s on the back and didn't need chains 'cuz it rode on top of the snow...

Totally sinful now! but she was my only driver back then :)

I feel your winter pains. We skipped spring up here in Seattle, been snowing, hailing and everything else the last four months up here. Hopefully summer will show up and bless us with some sunshine to exercise the calspecl!
