WOW!!....what a 'Ride' and very Lucky....unfortunately there are Many of those out there....I use to call em 'Super Truckers'....they thought they were the 'Cream of the Crop' but only of the 'A**holes'....not a 'Knock' against the North, but many up there are waaay too overconfident in their physical abilities....on snow and ice....down here it is more on Wet roads and during storms...trying to outrun Tornados...I was never a 'Part of that Crowd'...always thought about my Family at home and those that were around me....except for 1....forced him to hit the barrels at a toll booth in Chicago....he was trying to Race and cut me off in his BMW....what an idiot....sorry for the Experience from all the Other truckers out there!!

Yeah it's pretty darn steep here too. Although I do mainly back road driving and avoid the interstate. Maybe that's part of it. The second a snowflake hits the ground the plow trucks roll out and drive around until it gets bad enough to plow. I think that's a reaction to lawsuits.

I have been up your way before....took a load up past Duluth to a ship at a dock on the Lake...it was Summer...

THANK YOU! Not many up here and you are so right. Over confident for sure.

Something we did while driving is...we would get a Rock from the States we went in or thru....have one from that Trip...somewhere in the flowerbed outside...

That's a cool idea!

We went to visit friends in TN and they have what looks like a road sign with the names of people that visit from far away pointing the direction they came from with the miles on it. When we were there we were the farthest

NH never got up your way....upstate NY and Mass is as close as we got to your 'Neck of the Woods'....just passed thru to and from Me....but that was when I was 6 and 8 yrs old....'64 & '66....

 

[samssimonsays]

That is a neat idea!

Another snow storm to drive through today. Not as bad but high winds and ice the entire way. Good times! Made it home in about 2.5 hours vs 3.5 last night!

Brought goats water in the strong wind and snow and wouldn't ya know it. Olive manages to get wet and it froze instantly to her. So, all the goats are in the barn again due to that little gem of a move. They are all upset that it is snowing and cold yet upset they are all locked up too now. Can't win with these guys this year haha.
