2010 PNW "Mini" Rally Part 3

[elkhunter]

Anybody for an ICE run? 17F here and plenty of snow and ice. Local cops have my # to help out with rigs in the ditches.

Better go to the thread 'How Cold Is It Where You Live"? Well guys it's 61 degrees here at the moment. My son tried to go to our cabin in Montana this morning and the road was drifted in and had to turn back. My "Deuce " is marooned in our place. "Cheechako" needs a rest anyways and doesn't like icy roads. With wind chill factored in its -23 below. Interstate 15 going out of Montana heading south has been closed. Salt Lake City is being hammered also by a blizzard at the present time. Stay warm you guys! Be careful!!

Here in Billings we have a good 12" on the ground and the Duece loves it...Just wants to go straight ahead all the time... need chains I guess

Nice pictures REO 54! Kinda reminds me of Montana. The last storm you sent us a day a day two ago missed our place at Helena, MT and went around it. Present temp is 61 here at Laughlin, NV and Bullhead City, AZ on the mighty Colorado River. Later guy ,getting ready to barbeque steaks tonite outside. Have a good one.

Scott if I were there where you are I wouldn't hesitate helping in doing the "Toys For Tots" in a heartbeat. It's an opportunity you wouldn't regret! Get R Done and get the Deuce filled up. with toys, etc. I'll follow up with a thread on the subject. elk

 

[REO 54]
