We had loads of Weasel's in Sweden & Norway & there's still a few around, good Studebaker-country!

Donner Pass?! if those people weren't able to be rescued history could have repeated itself and they might have turned into another Donner Party!Poet...Mystic...Soldier of Fortune. As always...self-absorbed, adversarial, cocky and in general a malcontent.Comment

Right. It was US route 40 that was closed by the blizzard and was mostly replaced years later by I-80 west of Denver. You'd think the author (who presumably lives in that area) would know the difference.Originally posted by Warren Webb View PostSkip LackieComment

Good points, you guys. Somethings are inexcusable if you are going to be a paid writer. Especially in the first sentence; something that "wrong" jumps out at a knowledgeable reader and right or wrong, it taints the balance of the piece.Originally posted by Skip Lackie View Post
Pretty cool story, though; must've been frightening. BP
