About 10 years ago my wife and I were headed south out of Ashland, OR, when we found I5 closed by snow and traffic backed up to forever. We were able to take a frontage road along the east side of the freeway, eventually rejoining the freeway just north of the Ca/Or border. From there, we were able to break through a low wall of snow blocking the onramp (created by the snowplows) and headed on south into California, about another 20 miles before we got past the closure. Very cool, very surreal, had the freeway to ourselves, except for one CHP who passed us without even a glance. Got out and took a leak in the middle of the freeway. At another point we chased a coyote a 1/4 mile or so, just jogging down the fast lane, in no particular hurry.
