  ...and to make the ride more entertaining put 16 tires under the guys with a 100,000 lb pump or load of lumber behind them :innocentwhistle:.

Yep. these roads were made specifically for logging trucks.   Imagine those big heavy loads going down these slick curves.  With packed snow or ice on the roads, they creep down with chains on, and I'm sure when the road is in logging use they scrape and gravel/sand these ice patches. 

golfertrout, got chains in the rig.  Didn't think I needed them!   :laf:  I don't like to put them on and take them off.  My philosophy is to drive as far as I can in 4 wheel drive without chains, and if I get stuck, use the chains to get out.  If I drive as far as I can in 4 Wheel drive with chains on and get stuck there, I'm usually in considerably more trouble. :iroll:
