Scary Driving

[sleepyjeff]

Driving a rented U-Haul truck thru a blizzard/Ice Storm from Portland, Oregon to Gig Harbor Washington.......

The whole trip was white knuckle action.....it felt kinda like a bad video game with cars and trucks periodically skidding off the road in a kinda slow-motion ballet.

The highlight of the trip was going across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge...couldn't see but a few feet in front of me but visibility was quite clear looking down At about the half-way point on my journey across the bridge I remembered just what bridge I was crossing....my knuckles got even whiter at that point. Long story short, I made it there and back and the whole trip only took me 19 hours(normally a round trip between Portland and Gig Harbor would take about 5 - 6)

You reminded me of another one: we were moving Susan's sister up to Oregon a couple of years ago, using Susan's van to tow a UHaul trailer. Somehow, Susan ended up driving as we were going through the mountains of Lake Shasta. Since she has never driven a trailer before, she started have some serious issues as we hit the downhill side

I took over the driving as soon as she was able to find a turnout.
