They were probably on schedule until the blizzard hit. The horrible thing is that if they had started just a couple of days earlier, they would have cleared the pass before the snow came, and they would have been OK. If they'd started a couple of days later, they wouldn't have gotten to the pass yet when the snow hit, and they probably would have been off schedule, but otherwise OK.<br /><br />Don't know where i got this, but I'm pretty sure it's fight.<br /><br />Cheers!<br />jXbJazzbumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337490817307473659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-65580884852732512962010-03-08T18:17:45.660-08:002010-03-08T18:17:45.660-08:00The late great novelist Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. said &q...The late great novelist Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. said " Man was put on earth to fart around."BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.com
