Nokta FoRs Gold, a Gold Cube, 2 Keene Sluices and Lord only knows how many pans....not to mention a load of other gear my wife still doesn't know about!
I've seen Cheyenne, and the entire I-25 corridor all the way to
Montana looking just like that more than once. I drove for a
company out of Sheridan, and when it got like that I'd just
find a safe spot to park and take a long nap.
Truth be told, it only snows in Wyoming once a year...it just blows
around the state the rest of the time.
Too many out-of-staters and city folks don't know how to drive in these conditions. (Don't forget to turn on your cruse control when there is ice on the roadway? lol!)
I rarely had a Problem with Rear wheel drive in my Early Years.
I do remember Stepping on the Gas to Try & Get through a 5' Snow drift
and end up Learning that is Impossible I also leaned that night if you Let
a Township Plow hook a Chain to your Bumper, He will pull you out,
But your Bumper kind of Bends out Too
rear wheel drive & Fishtailing is fun though
Leaned how to take a 90 Degree turn Down hill on a sheet of Ice
Hit the Breaks 1 Second Slide Towards the Bank to the Right
Let off the Breaks car steers to the Left hit the breaks again 1 Second Slide Towards the Bank to the Right Let off the Breaks car steers to the Left. repeat as necessary.
once your pointed straight down just hold on & let gravity take ya ! Your Breaks can be your Friend on Ice for Stearing
if used sparingly
On my trip up that corner was the Freezing Point.
ended up Pointing down as I Rounded the Curve
As I Said I Enjoyed Snow & Ice.
They used to have fits Kids doing Donuts in the Acme Parking lot in the winter.
the Police should have had a Spot where playing on snow & Ice was Mandatory
for winter Drivers to learn
And they don’t realize that in certain conditions even trucks and four wheel drive vehicles can get stuck. If it’s greasy snow the heavier vehicles can have trouble on inclines, 4WD or not.
