<p>[quote user="spbed"]Better hurry as winter comes real early to WY <span class="smiley">[:)]</span> [/quote]</p><p>And hard.</p><p>If you have not done so.. PAY ATTENTION to NOAA weather reports for that state. It might be worth your life.</p><p>Now that I have scared you away, I tell you that Wyoming is a great place to be in the spring, summer time.</p><p>Wintertime it's time to get deadly serious about travel; they can and DO close the roads at will your travel plans is never gauranteed. You might say you are going to point B later on this afternoon up there but nature might strand you in a motel (If yer lucky) for 2 days along the way.</p><p>By the way Chain season is about October 15 to April 1st. You are probably required to have a set in your vehicle.</p><p>This little fella was going WAY too fast and I saw it coming when it passed a double tanker a mile to my rear and got the camera ready. I have been keeping an eye on that double tanker as we both were on split ice at 10 mph with interlock in. The car was doing roughly 60 at least.</p><p> <a href="http://img238.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wyomingwipeout1im5.jpg">http://img238.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wyomingwipeout1im5.jpg</a></p><p>Anyhow it overcorrected and went into the 2 foot deep snow off to the right... it would definately need a tow wrecker to get it back onto the interstate. That hard snow being piled onto the windshield probably kept it wheels down and not get flipped side over side throwing the people out.</p><p> <a href="http://img518.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wyomingwipeout2co2.jpg">http://img518.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wyomingwipeout2co2.jpg</a></p><p>I recall the nearest source of anything was Sheridan, still an hour distant (15 miles or so away)</p><p>It was a beautiful day temps down in the teens and that sun was strong enough to liquify the top layer of ice and make it even more slippery if such a thing makes sense.</p><p>The pictures were scanned out of a print set from a disposible camera that I keep handy for accidents... either about to happen or after the fact. I like to catch it before it makes contact as it does alot to eliminate "He said she said" in the courthouse.</p>
