I had 12 hours in heavy snow in the Vermont mountains. It was scary but beautiful. I
kept
stopping to take photo's. Mind you I was only doing about 15-20mph. It really didn't
occur
to me the whole time I was there about getting stuck. i was much more worried about
getting shot. Saw many big hairy men with shotguns, especially in the wilds of Maine.
I am
sure I mentioned before that when i frist arrived I saw armed policemen guarding
roadworkers. 'shit!' I thought,' crime here must be really bad if they have to gaurd
the
roadworkers.' Later I found out that the roadworkers were a chaingang!
