On my way to Tahoe City.....


I left my house, in Double Diamond, at 2pm. There was a small river, easily crossable, on Double R Blvd. between Double Diamond Drive and Damonte Ranch Parkway.

I heard traffic was being held on 431 so I tried to get through that way. It should have been designated CLOSED because closed it was. I can sometimes get through during extreme conditions due to a few stickers on my van, combined with AWD and Blizzaks...but not this time.

I hit 395 and headed South. I must have hit it just right as it was now open, approx. 2:30pm. The water on the side of the road looked like something that could have been "boogie-boarded." Wow!

I had to turn the sterring wheel about an 1/8 turn to the right to combat the winds, noting the semi trailer that lay on it's side from yesterday.

I got to Carson City and endured the traffic to hwy 50, WHICH WAS OPEN!!!!!

This was my only chance to get to work. I headed up 50, dodging many rookie snow drivers on the way. Chain controls were on although it was raining a good part of the way, followed by light snow after about 5500 feet.

Highway 28 was a breeze all the way to Tahoe City.

It took me about 2.5 hours to make it.

The management of the place where I play, on NYE, was amazed that I made it. Employees of theirs had called and stated that there was no way they could make it in from Reno.

My stuff is set up, I had dinner, a shower and checked into my room. I'm staying put tonight.

Have a safe NYE all!
