    We got over a foot in 12 hours in the Yukon, at home here we are in the process of getting our first skiff of snow... I wish it would have held off just a teeny bit longer!

    On this trip, I hit snow just north of Atlanta, GA. Nothing laying on the ground until I got on top of Monteagle, then nothing again the rest of the way. Paducah, St Loius, Springfield, MO, and Kansas City. Then, back home again. This keeps up, I'll be out of practice for the northern latitudes....

    NOT!!!!!!!
    Destroy the cities...
    and they will rebuild them.
    Destroy the farms...
    and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.

    Destroy the economy of the blue-collar worker...
    and grass will grow in the executive offices.

    The bill has come due.
    ( R E T I R E D , and glad of it)

    I've heard we're in for the coldest winter on record..sounds like it's on the way! So much for global "warming"!

    That aint no lie!

    I like the pictures. Looks like pretty country. I just couldn't imagine driving in that stuff. Were those buffalo in that one picture? Not many buffalo around here these days. I've nailed my share of deer, and pigs, running in west Texas, but I don't even want to think about hitting a buffalo.

    I love the country up there too! The scenery is absolutely stunning, just too bad the winters are so damned long! Yes those are Woodlands Buffalo, they are larger than the Prairie ones that we have down here & what you have in the US. I've seen the results of a truck hitting one of them...it ain't pretty. Basically they are like a cow but weigh, in some cases, over a ton. The truck I saw that hit one had a Roo Bumper on it & it still wrote off the truck...nasty!

    Default Northern Ice Roads

    Hello WildKat. Who do you drive the Northern Ice Roads for? Your regular company or someone else? Is it as lucrative in terms of earning potential as I've read on the internet? Is it a realistic goal on my part, that after a couple of years experience (regular driving), I could apply to drive up north? (Northwest Territories Ice Roads) Your honesty is very much appreicated.
    Thanks,
    Nancy

    You all must be mistaken about all that snow. Haven't you heard about global warming? Those are some great pictures.

    Right GMAN, should write to Al Gore and he will tell you that all that snow is just a figment of your imagination.
    Must have been getting close to, or just leaving, Toad River to see the herd. I came around a corner up there one night, probably to fast, and there were Buffalo all over the road. Was kinda interesting for a while Duno who was trying to dodge who Hand behind me said "Those are some interesting tracks (tire marks) in the snow "
