Beautifull and Deadly

Read the title and take note !!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was snowing as i left the foothills at Hope and the weather got worse as i got higher, before we got to the first avelanche shelter we were at a standstill and 3045 was sitting in sheet ice.

There was a nasty accident (i had already seen half a dozen minor ones today) up ahead involving 3 trucks spinning out and a car, it was grim and i thought back to me explaining to my dispatcher that it was a bad idea to send me over the mountains this close to my holiday.

Then came some fantastic news.......................... CHAIN UP !

Well i put the old jewelery on (15 minutes this time) and we trudged up the mountain and squeezed through the carnage, the chains stayed on till passed the toll boothes.

By this time it was dark and i was getting low on hours, luckily the roads got better and i actually managed to get passed Siccamous then pulled the curtains for the night.
