RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT - Through the Years

RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT
THROUGH THE YEARS
On my one day off every week, Thursdays, I would try
and sleep Wednesday night and then as soon as the
clock struck 8AM I’d hop in my car and drive to
Vancouver, at least a 2½ hour drive one way (in good
conditions). On one of my return trips, very late at night
(or early in the morning) I fell asleep on the freeway,
and drove into the median, waking up as I bumped
down the embankment. No damage to me or the car. I
could see my tire tracks on the wet road as they left a
long, straight trail right off the highway. I don’t
remember how, but the tow truck driver we used in
Abbotsford came to my rescue, got me out of my
predicament, and didn’t charge me a penny. Lucky.

And this is what it was like in the winter,
looking north and taken on the highway
near the top of the hill at Hell’s Gate.
Pretty, but deadly.
