Anyone who I have been out west with before will know my brothers love for 7/11 BIG GULP drinks.
Back to the roads...I didn't think we were EVER going to make it to our destination. Once we got to WY, the roads and weather were horrible! When we entered the town of Laramie there is a large "hill" otherwise know as mountain that you must go down, and in a matter of just a couple minutes you go from 9,000ft to 7,000....let me just say that Sarah didn't handle this downhill and ice very well. Luckily Pete took over driving (my 30mph driving was getting a little much). He took the pedal to the metal going 40mph.
After horrible roads and tensions high, I was SO happy to see the Utah State line sign (see below). The rest of the way (70 miles) was barable, but not great conditions.
We got lost looking for our house but we eventually found it! The owners are great and they have a cute dog that they rescued about 9 months ago. I couldn't tell you the breed though.
It was wonderful to go to bed and wake up knowing we wouldn't have to drive anywhere... Oh wait Pete has to fly out today, the airport is 70 miles away...
BUT, the weather was excellent and roads were clear! Pete flew out of SLC no problem, but won't be getting to Houghton tonight since the flight is cancelled due to weather.
Today, I did some retail shopping at Target and now it is time to clean. Fun
night...Tomorrow I will be going into PC and stopping in at Deer Valley to check everything out!
Have a good night, stay warm!
