Got stuck on Donner summit right after a trip for Easter one year. Road was closed due to slides. Since we lived in the mountains, the trunk of the car had a full winter survival kit, including snowshoes, back packs and food/water. Sleeping bags, and mountain stove. We'd wait till they cleared the slide, move up to the next one, and wait for it. Longest stop was three hours, so after about an hour and a half, I started eyeballing the other cars to see who we'd save and who we'd eat. On the last long pause, we were next to a Reefer truck. I figured whatever was in there would feed the two of us, for months. My plan was to wait for everyone else to panic and quietly mutter "We should try to walk out, it's only a mile..." then lay low while everyone filed off. We were good for overnight, since we had plenty of insulation, but most of the people had only light clothing, and inadequate foot gear. And they let their cars idle constantly. We watched a couple of movies on the lap-top. And ate cheese and crackers and hard salami, and drank hot cocoa. Finally got to Reno at almost dawn. We had left Sacramento about 11 AM. Road was open when we left, but started having slides as the day warmed up. Kept snowing up high, and the storm closed in, temp dropped. It was a mess.

Having spent my life in these mountains (family has lived in Truckee since the '40's) I've seen/heard it all. Locals just laugh at the amount of stupid that tourists bring.
