Saturday December 20th we left Klamath Falls at 6:45 a.m. in order to miss the snow storm that was coming and make it to Gladstone. Kyle had checked the weather for two weeks prior to this. Trying to figure out what would the best way to go that would require the least amount of time that we would have to keep the chains on. He decided taking highway 140 and going through Medford to get to I-5. The usual route we go is highway 97 to 58 then to I-5 and that takes about 4 1/2 hours. But with the snow and different route the drive took longer. It ended up being 6 1/2 hours. We drove with chains on from Klamath Falls to about 15 miles before Medford. And the streets were good as we went into Gladstone. But on our tail was a snow storm that the Portland area had not seen in 30 years. I am so glad that Kyle was wise to the weather and got us there safe. Here is a picture of us going through the pass by Medford. They received more snow in Gladstone then what I got a picture of in this pass.
