My Dad, back in the day when he first started working in the Oil Patch, drove an ‘88 Chevy Suburban 4×4 that had a brush bumper the size of a Cat D9 Dozer blade. Well, maybe not that big.
One of the things deer like to do in the dead of winter when it’s -40 C/F in Oilberta is to hang out in the middle of the road, licking the salt off it.
BTW: they don’t salt the roads in Montana.
Anyways, he was driving along HWY 12 near Gull Lake, Alberta during an Ice Fog morning. When the temps get down to that cold, ice crystals form in the air and the relative humidity seems to approach that of the desert, even though the air is clogged with frozen water that just hangs there all day.
He rounded a corner and ploughed throug a dozen deer in his Oil Patch Tank.
THIS is just a taste of what he saw. WARNInG: not for the faint of heart.
The tunes are sweet, if you like hanging out in the Monkey Top Saloon in Bentley, Alberta.
Here’s to driving safely on Alberta Highways this long weekend. I hate hearing stories about people dyin on long weekends.
