Wow - you don't see that very often. Wouldn't want one of those 18-wheelers behind me on La Rumarosa mountain.

In "snow country" the trucks carry chains, and know when to put them on. What do you think the chances are that any trucks crossing over the Rumorosa grade can chain up?

Of course, almost any other vehicle on the grade can take you out as well. Even in the best winter driving vehicle, and a lifetime of experience in snow country, you always have to ask yourself "Is this trip necessary?".

Well, the notion of essential travel has certainly had the chite kicked out of it lately......clearly, sensible thinking is an albatross for many.
