Highway CA-89.. wasn't plowed, had fresh snow, no gravel..etc...
Yep, almost died near the summit before susanville. That's about when i put the camera down and had to focus more on driving

and finally a clearing




anyway. it was an adventure. On the way there, it was 650 miles.. even through the snow, my end MPG was 24.5

the way back, i got 26.1MPG

it handled like **** on the snowpacked road. anything over 35mph and you could feel the car drifting. Having a manual, it was pretty tough to climb the hills without much traction. I was carrying chains, but the chain areas, shoulders, and rest areas were entirely packed with snow! (for the times that chains were necessary, not like where i took the picture)

the wet stuff wasn't too bad though
