Don't!!

You never know when you may need a Westy!

There was some really stormy, snowy, blizzardy weather that hung on the
mountains and in the passes between Soldotna, AK and Anchorage. Finally
the weather cleared, and the roads were opened, and folks began to drive
the 150 stretch between the two cities. And then the avalanches came,
trapping people in passes, and between points where the snow blocked the
highways - for days.  In one place, there was an early Westy stranded,
and it became the home for 6 people who huddled together for 5 days for
heat, warmth, and camaraderie - and a little food - very little, but at
least a little.

Just goes to show you never know.

Good Luck,

Regards,

(We're in New Mexico and got stranded for more than a week during last week's storm. Maybe that influenced the outcome.)
