I was stuck here with a special girl of mine who no longer likes me but it sure was a special trip. It was snowing like mad and we had no way to get back to San Francisco otherwise than to back track to Reno, then down to Las Vegas. I-80 was completely shutdown and my stubborn ass wouldn't listen to anyone and I was convinced Donner Pass Rd. Would be open. I was wrong.
I was in a Chevy Sonic almost going sideways down the hill with no chains(I'm young, dumb and broke/wannabe actor in LA; I couldn't afford chains)so I was praying they wouldn't force us to have chains going I-80 Eastbound.
Oddly enough, I can't remember what highway we took going thereafter because we opted for Las Vegas as opposed to hunkering down in the Reno metro for the night. I am almost certain it wasn't US 395 as I'm sure we didn't go back into California but I am almost fairly certain we didn't go as Far East as US 95. Weird now that I think about it...
