Imagine, what are the chances of being stuck at Donner Pass in a winter storm? 🤪

@ai6yr Could be wrong but I kinda think that a part for our tractor is in one of those trucks.

@ai6yr oh don't you know? Popping a squat surrounded by sliding trucks is the safest place to pee.

@ai6yr was stuck on I-70 eastbound on the weekend after thanksgiving in I think 2009 or so (would have to look it up). We were not the only one looking over the guardrail for a quick relief.

Side note is once we were able to get moving, our FWD Oldsmobile Intrigue did far better than most of the other vehicles. We weaved between stuck pickups, semis, etc and were able to get home that night without other incident. I believe it ended up being a 8 hour Silverthorn to Denver drive.

@onyxraven @ai6yr in my experience, having the right tires and the right driving style makes way more difference in the snow than how many wheels are powered or your suspension system does

@trainguyrom @ai6yr good tires, heavy northstar v6. Patient driving. Cassette deck adapter for our mp3s. All important 😆

@ai6yr There are ports potties at the truck brake stops, but likely behind a big, slushy snow berm.

@andybrwn @ai6yr okay, so now we have to make sure we aren't caught on camera when peeing in what we think is a safe place, wouldn't have thought of that.
