Wow, Spider... that totally sucks. I'm glad you got the truck started again and made it home OK.

When I saw the thread title I thought maybe you ended up in jail for beating up some raider fans.

Warm them toes dude. I feel your pain. I've worked on equipment in freezing temperatures it's very difficult and dangerous at that.

That wouldnt be a bad night , that would be heaven ..... No kids screaming , staying warm , 3 hot meals , a bed ........ No downside at all

I saw the title and thought you might have been in Utah. Pretty close. Down by Lehi, it took 4 hours to go 13 miles, 150 people had to spend the night at a Maverick there and school children spent the night at school as the bus couldn't get them home and their parents couldn't get to them because of the weather much like what you had in Wyoming. Nasty weather

I guess parts of Utah got abused ..... some of Wyoming got hammered ..

I just froze my ass off
