TRAFFIC ALERT: I-80 westbound closed over Donner Pass

Some years ago I was trying to get to a trailhead north of I80 in mid May. After successfully passing through several late season snow drifts, I tried one that was too deep for my RAV4, and ended up spinning 3 tires. Fortunately a taller pickup came along and pulled me on through. But then I had to work my way back out. While embarrassing, it was also a good learning experience.
