Don Christner presents ‘Mike and I chained up on Loveland Pass’

Apr 21, 2015

Mike McGinty leads the way up Colorado HWY 6 over Loveland Pass in Nov. of 2014.

The hazardous liquid in our tankers runs to the back, taking weight from our drives as we climb. At nearly 12,000 ft there is a generous safety bonus — you see, if you do your job right you get to live. If you don’t do your job right, you don’t get to live! The bonus payment is administered by the mountain in real time!

My brother taught me how to ski on Loveland 25 years ago. We rode the lift to the top of the mountain and he said, “Now ski down” — mostly I fell down a lot!
