OK, I need some advice from my fellow Teeners that live / have local knowledge in driving from Stockton Calif to Seattle Wa- during the month of February. My inquiry deals with 'snow / road ' conditions during that month. * do I NEED snow chains - even if car is an full time Audi. * If stopped for chain check- do these CHP understand that the Audi has full time 4 wheel. * what are your local suggestions? I plan on making the mt trip from Redding to Medford in the day time..to me this much safer as there 'should ' be more traffic utilizing the road..thus clearing up any snow / etc. ANY suggestions is welcome.. ps I JUST bought a new set of Nokian WS all season snows for this trip..do I NEED to worry?? Thank YOU! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Two problems with Gints California Chain Check story...
There are no "nice" hotels in Orangevale. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Jack in the Box doesn't serve ANYTHING "nice" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Seriously, Orangevale is on the Hwy. 50 side of town and by the rest of your story, it sounds like you went up 80? 4 Wheel drive does not require chains (unless they tell you they do) Totally random (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

QUOTE(ConeDodger @ Jan 20 2010, 08:23 AM)  Two problems with Gints California Chain Check story... It wasn't meant to be taken quite so literally. Exactly where I was and exactly where I was heading wasn't really the point, although I was in California. It was part of a story I wrote up of my little adventure, which I hoped would illustrate the primary point. That point is when you're driving on a California highway and heading up into the hills, the chain check folks will dictate whether or not you're able to proceed. Period. If you're not prepared for whatever their decision may be, you probably won't proceed much further until you can comply with said decision.There are no "nice" hotels in Orangevale.
