So far I have a record of never putting chains on my truck. A record I have no intention of breaking - if it's that bad, I find another route, or pull over and wait it out.

Yep, I pretty much carried chains year-round regardless of weather or not they where required. I heard chatter on the radio about possibly making it so they have to be on the truck year-round. But, we know how reliable information from drivers can be :wink:

Yeah that does not suprise me... Oregon tends to be an odd-ball state anyhow. I think they should just become their own country!
