Highway thru hell

Recommended Posts

Missed a turn in Kansas one time with a dry van, (road sign bent around) rural two lane, so I go to the next intersection, go left,straighten out and back across the intersection was just breaking dawn and what I thought was the edge of the road was a snow covered ditch! My left tandem goes in the ditch! Had over 40k in the wagon, couldn't pull out! So I call a wrecker. This kid shows in a 250k tandem "hook" ( was the 90s!) He parks on the highway facing the same way as me about the middle of the trailer,and proceeds to throw the cable OVER the trailer!!! Wait a damn minute man, I want pulled out of the ditch, with the rig intact!,not squashed flat by the cable! So I have to train him how to hook a snatch block to his bumper and run the cable to the frame under the trailer came right out! Wonder how much this guy cost his company!

That's a beautiful picture, I had that picture as my screen saver for a long time.

coming from the master of "through the windshield photography" I appreciate the comment, I was doing about 100kph when I said to myself, self, that would look like a damn fine picture, so out came the Brownie and I shot a few through the windshield, that was the only one that wasn't blurred.... sorry I couldn't get a girl in a car at the same time for you... :rolleyes:

I was in Oregon one time when they instituted the " chain law" came up on the pullover area and there was nowhere to park! So I just kept rolling ,made it to a t.s. and parked. So what do you do when there is nowhere to "chain up" I suspect that's you're problem and you get fined anyway!

That is a great picture!
