Winter driving tip

[Weimdogman]

People are always asking about traveling and minimum maintenance roads.. stay off the minimum maintenance roads and you won't ever get stuck on a minimum maintenance road. Most gravel roads are passable.. if in doubt turn around.

Wow, what a concept. Talk about rocket science.

Stay off the ice and you won't fall through either...

I have seen four wheel drive tractors with duallies all around buried on minimum maintenance roads. I have been pulled out of trouble by such vehicles too. Lots of wasted time. Key word = minimum

I have pulled out a lot of people on the minimum maintenance roads near the Ponderosa. Tearing up those roads that the farmers and ranchers have to use is not a way to win friends in the country.

This is a bit off topic, but here's a tip for getting around snow drifts on country roads: drive into the field and along the road until past the drift, taking care to move along slowly.

You think farmers get upset when you tear up minimum maintenance roads, drive across their fields because you can't get down the road.

Those mud roads can become pretty greasy when the top layer thaws out while you're out hunting. It's happened to me a time or 2.

I was thinking the same thing.
