Adrienne and Justin drove out to the Boulder County Fairgrounds this morning where we’ve been camped the last 4 nights to join us for breakfast in the trailer. We had a pleasant and leisurely meal and visit, gave Justin a “ tour” of life in a tiny RV, said our good-byes, then they headed out to do chores and homework, and we hit the highway at 9:30.
It felt like a long day as it was cold (low of 22, high of 49 outside, with the trailer 44 degrees inside on arrival at our campsite), windy (30+mph) and sometimes icy with blowing snow, all at elevations between 5,000 and 8,000 feet, so our progress was slow. We saw two 18-wheeler trucks over-turned on the side of the highway, witnessed one car spin-out into the snow in the median, and our truck and trailer skidded once while Bob was driving, but he got it under control without incident. It does NOT feel like winter is over along Interstate 80.
So we made it to Brigham City, Utah about 7:30 pm and will hit the road again in the morning. We expect to be home by Wednesday night at the latest, perhaps earlier that day.
