All of my regular customers bailed on me today so dispatch offered up an inter-city run down to Rexburg and back. It took me out onto Packsaddle road this morning, one of the oldest roads in the valley, with a lot of history.
The drive-ability of this road depends on whether you can see the yellow line through the snow crust. Today, not so much. The reason this is important is because there are deep bear trap ditches on both sides and oncoming vehicles are always playing chicken with you for control of the center of the road!
That is one icey road. Do they put chains on your bus? I sure hope so.
Our buses have terrific snow tires and the land is flat, haven’t been stuck in years!
