Donny is on his way back from Oregon hauling 2 Cubs he went there to buy. He called me a half hour ago and said he is almost to the summit (South-Bound) and traffic is at a standstill and that vision is at about 3 vehicals in front of him distance wise. I just checked Ore.D.O.T page and it said traffic will not move until at least midnight. (10:30-now) Anyhoo, this post will be a reminder to him when he gets home of how hard he worked for those 2 Cubs he is hauling. {A true Cub lover, Through rain,sleet,mud or snow he go}.

Sounds like another story for the cub stories section! Maybe we can get John from Texas and his flyin' whirlycub to rescue Donny!

pretty tough when you have to go under the cover of a blizzard to get a cub, just to keep the 'cub snatcher' amoung us from spotting you. :lol:
