I was Stationed at the TOP/North (City of Kamloops British Columbia Canada)end of the Coquihalla highway "Highway from Hell" from 1981>2011. The Coquihalla highway was opened around the summer of 1985. I know from years of driving, sections of the Coquihalla highway receives more than >20' of HEAVY SNOW, as the weather front arrives from the Pacific Ocean,(less than 100 miles west of the Coquihalla Highway/Highway from Hell) latent with moisture. The Natural Gas PIPELINE and COMPRESSOR STATIONS(Twin 36"& 30") is parallel with the Coquihalla Highway/High WAY from HELL. That portion of the Highway runs through a shot but steep section of Mtns. The North end of the Coquihalla Highway starts in Kamloops Canada at the intersection of the TRANSCANADA HIGHWAY at an elevation of approximately 1500>2000 FT and over a 60+ mile distance reaches possibly 5000+ in elevation. The challenge of this Highway is that for the most part it is never flat with grades of 10% +. There are several SNOW SHEDS,(Known as the GREAT BEAR SNOW SHED)designed to shoot the snow pack above the highway and into a river that follows much of the highway. On the INTERNET, type in "BRITISH COLUMBIA HIGHWAY CAMERAS". Then select the camera that allows you to view the "Coquihalla Highway. Specifically "coquihalla highway cam" As for the MOVIE "HIGHWY FROM HELL" the main Recovery Team are excellent BUT, the amount of horrific accidents are a bit over played....its a MOVIE. The accidents are caused 90%+ by transport drivers refusing to CHAIN UP their EQUIPMENT and descending the SOUTH grade to fast in to High of a gear.... Go figure? I spent many nights with a 4x4 and snow plow digging my way to a 32,000 HP Turbine Compressor Station to solve a problem of one kind or another. Bob...

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
