(Climbing Donner pass in California on Interstate 80 last February)
I've come to the conclusion that my luck may be about to run out as far as driving during the Winter months and never having an accident. This past winter was terrifying, shutting down more than a dozen times in the face of terrible ice and snow on the roadways. There were times when I had no place to stop, and my truck crawled along at less than 5 mph and I still slid and ventured onto the brink of disaster. So what should I do, I asked myself. The only answer I can come up with is not to drive those months, as so many seasoned old timers don't, and I'm only 30, but can see the wisdom in their ways. So if I'm going to do anything think I am de termined to cruise all winter long, down the Baja Penninsula and perhaps other places, returning in the spring when the weather has warmed up, and the roads are free of ice and snow.
Not sure if I can afford to do it this winter, I want a bigger board, but we'll see how much money I can save by say November, and if I still feel the same way, it looks like the Hard Knots will be brought out of Ocean Retirement at least for a few more months.
