@snowflake954 Something else on my heart this morning, for you. When and if your good lookin' sons make it out here for a vacay: Paw's sage advice that's carried all of us through these decades. Don't travel with the pack, run with the herd and graze with the sheep. This applies to staying safe on the highways and two-lane roads. The pesky come and drive like bats out of hell. They're too busy playing with their phone to pay attention to the wildlife, the falling rocks and snarled traffic.

Wyoming is the windiest state in the union. Consistently windy and winters are the worst with 65 to 75 mph winds on the '80'. I-80. Long haul truckers are used to high speeds and they don't know how to Wind Surf on icy roads. We were required to
attend Icy Road/Skid Training a few times for our jobs.

In a nutshell without the whole bushel. It can snow all months out of the year on the mountain passes. Always leave plenty of room and pull off if you have to and let the gaggle of geese go on by. Always stay away from a stream of cars all bumper to bumper. That's the surest way to end up in a pile up. Don't follow the herd. When one jumps out of their car to look at wildlife, they all stop in the middle of the road and jump out on a whim.

Get out from amongst them. Always. Paw's voice still rings in my ears.

My G--! I've driven in the worst of a Minnesota blizzard, but that made my hair stand on end. When I saw the horse trailer go by in the midst of those crashing giants, I about lost it. The Fed Ex was going like a bat out of hell.

You drive at a crawl in stuff like that. Whew!
