Re: Another great Winternationals ? ? ?
Jack--- I sympathize with you guys ---I went to pomona for about 10 years from chicago to Pomona--- drove in a snow storm like you guys are getting in 78-79 drove from chi-st louis in my dually in 3rd gear at 15-20 mph for 250 miles in a rut on the interstate!!! If you went faster you would spin/slip/slide all over the place if you went slower you would get stuck--- got to st louis and not a snoflake on the ground drove a few hours to joplin missouri same situation all the way to oklahoma city. Only problem there is they have NO snow removal equipment. What normally took 45 hours straight thru ended up being a 5 day drive ONE WAY!!! Dont do anything stupid !!!!!!if you get out you get out if not watch it on TV. Not worth it no matter how bad you wanna go--comp 387

Re: Another great Winternationals ? ? ?
Didn't the Farmers' Almanac say this was going to be a mild, easy winter? Here in New England, we missed the one you're dealing with today, but they're calling for us to get a good one on Wednesday of next week...Hope you have plenty of propane (for heat) and also full tanks of fuel for coach....Stay warm and safe....WJ

Hey Jack : Just a thought - have you considered going south and then go west on 40. I had to do just that same thing once. Its longer but you get out of the big white stuff.

Re: Another great Winternationals ? ? ?
Jack, that's the reason i left batavia, n.y. In 1966 and moved to the south. I'm now in sunny el paso, texas drinking "margurita's served by brown eyed beauties" in 60 degree weather. I'll be watching pomona on tv.
You and bill travel safely, there's always the next race in phoenix. |

Re: Another great Winternationals ? ? ?
Its like they say - what a difference a day makes as this morning its sunny and blue skies but the temperature a bone chilling 5 degrees .As we pack to get back on the road ( still about three hours away ) I took a few shots from out the coach window - I'm not goin' out yet - with the wind chill it must be at least 10 below .I know that it must be super cold because the generator took extra long to start - for awhile I thought maybe it wouldn't ever-this things got a diesel Onan that is normally very good but this morning tough sledding for sure .
Called in last night and they tell me the plow is waiting ...................
