A funny story (I think so anyway). Going to Vancouver, BC, one Saturday
morning I hit the TransCanada about 15 miles E of Van and it was clogged
because of a little snow, maybe 2 or 3 inches. Took a side road in 4WD
and was chugging along going west hoping I could find a way to get across
the Fraser River. Went down a pretty good sized dip, maybe a quarter mile
down and right back up with maybe a 6% grade, and noticed a white car
trying to get out of the hole going my way. Got closer and noticed the
RCMP/GRDC on the trunk. The driver was spinning the tires until the right
rear got down through the snow and hit the gravel on the shoulder which
gave a little squirt up the hill about 2 or 3 ft. When I passed I gave
the woman officer a nice big 'merrycan grin and went on up the hill. She
was totally unimpressed! Fortunately she was completely occupied.
