Just got in to Durango from Ft.Collins. Left Ft.Collins at 1030hrs and
arrived Durango at 2000hrs.....not bad for 450 miles through nasty
snow storms, including Wolf Creek Pass, which was choc full of
jacknifed trailers who were chaining up, much later than they should
have......yup, almost to the top, with their asses in the air. Don't
even get me started about all the jackasses pulling trailers at high
speeds through all this madness. All they needed was one quick
correction to send them and others into the hereafter! We did this
night of absolute madness in a 2wd GL with Hakkas. We did chain up for
Wolf Creek, but for the remainder we were on the Hakkas and lots of
caution from moi. These tires did great!
BTW This was my first ever over a major pass during a snow storm,
without one Syncro or another........uhm, the Hakkas were great, but I
sure missed my Syncro! Accept no substitutes!
Thanks,
Miguel
