Dead Man's Pass
Pat: We could stop here or wait for the next town. It's a bit more than 50 miles to La Grande.
Chris: We can make it, can't we.
Pat: We've got a little less than a quarter tank.
Chris: We're not making the best mileage, but I bet we can make it.
15 minutes later
Chris: (reading sign) "Closed to oversized loads due to low visibility?" Huh, looks like a big hill coming up. Can't see to well in the dark, but it doesn't look like it goes too long.
Pat: (reading sign) "Chain put on area." Huh... You're right, doesn't look too high.
45 minutes later
Pat: Is this damn thing ever going to end. SNOW! It's freakin' snowing and is not stopping. How long have we been going up this damn mountain.
Chris(checking map in the dark) Ummm I think we're in the blue mountains... How many gallons does your tank hold?
(reading road sign) DID THAT SAY DEADMAN'S PASS?
And.... SCENE.
More pics after the jump.
