We were so excited to start our trip that we were ready to go on Friday about 2:00 p.m. The truck was packed and all we had to do to get going in the morning was get up, shower, dress and put the camera bag, laptops and Bubba in the back. We left the house about 6:30 a.m. which was just a bit earlier than normal.

I never have quite understood how people get trapped in their cars during snowstorms. I thought all they had to do was keep driving. Well, now I understand a bit better. No one was moving or when we did, it was very slowly. We’re not quite sure what the hold up was–could have been the hill down then across a frozen bridge and then trying to make it up another hill. We saw no signs of an accident. The one good thing was we knew if we were stuck for a while we had a sleeping blanket, a snuggy, water, beer, Dr. Pepper and a Honey Baked Ham. We were in good shape. :)
