Well I am in Reno again, I turned around. Spent 2 hours putting chains on. Went about 400 feet and the trailer chains broke off, I recovered one from the middle of the interstate. I turned around. I am soaked to the bone, cold, tired, 2 days late, and I dont have enough chain to legally cross the pass.
Plus the chains cut my auto-inflation system for my trailer, so I ahve to flat tires and there is a 15 hours wait here to get it fixed
Happy ****in birthday
