We had such fun visiting far-away family during Spring Break. Coming home is never fun, but it is a necessity.
We had planned to go to church and leave directly from church. Ah, the "best-laid plans..." A couple of hours before church, it began to snow, heavily. It's almost April for pity's sake! We decided to forego church (truly a tough decision) and head out. This would add 4 hours to our traveling window. We spent 2 hours getting from SLC to Tremonton at 40 miles per hour with the 4-wheel drive one. I thought about putting the posi-track on, but that might have been overkill. At Tremonton we spotted blue in the sky and headed for it. Cool. Alas, Wind can be blue. We had wind, heavy wind, from Snowvilled to Boise. Filling up at Burley was nasty as we had to get out of the car. We averaged 15 mpg for that leg of the trip.
After we arrived in Boise and visited family we headed out again. Arriving in our valley we saw a calm and beautiful evening with the sun shining brightly. Oregon rocks!

You weren't the only ones on the road today...
Glad you made it back safely. Our Spring Break visitors had storms every stretch of their drive.
It was all worth it to see family, wasn't it?!!
Hey there! We too had terrible driving conditions every day we traveled. Coming home was a challenge. Many wrecks between Tremonton and Snowville. We were tempted to stop and help the first car, but decided to leave it to the professionals. We were too afraid of getting slammed into and smushed ourselves. We averaged a smidge over 10 mph. And Reed drove with both hands on the steering wheel. That is very rare. Glad you got home safely. Love Deb
Oops! I meant 10 mpg.
