Writing from the top of the pass

 Can you see any of the rivers in the road 

from the chains on the trucks?

Oh how I wish we were home.

It is just 7:28 pm Alberta time and we are going through the tunnels.

We were at a standstill on the highway for about an hour.

When we started going it was maybe 5 miles per hour. We have been shifting speeds between 5, 10, 15, etc., and are now traveling at 38 mph.

Traffic is only going one direction. I never driven in anything like this before.

In fact I’m not driving now, David is. But, I am experiencing it!

I can’t tell but I think 80% of the vehicles and maybe even 90% of the vehicles are trucks.

At least the snow is hurt blowing horizontally like it does in southern Alberta, but it sure is snowing.

A lot of the trucks stopped to check
their brakes at the top of the hill.

We are at the top of the pass.

The roads are extremely slippery and so the truckers have been having a hard time getting up hills.

David has been looking and almost all of them have their chains on.

Slow and steady will get us there.

We filled up before we left Calgary but I think we’re going to have to stop in revel stoke to put more gas in the car in order to make it home.

Still it is all a Winter Wonderland.
