The weather got rough that night driving through Wyoming. We had a couple of slides on ice and then traffic came to a standstill because the ice was so bad the trucks couldn't get over the hill about a mile ahead of us. So we sat on the highway for three hours with a couple hundred of our closest friends watching the salt truck try to make his way through the trucks to the hill. We finally moved on for a couple of hours but once we got to the top of the mountain, the 45 mph winds were blowing the truck and the snow so bad we pulled into a rest area to wait for daylight. Once the sun came up, the winds were still blowing but at least it was possible to see a little more. This is what it looked like:
When we saw this, we were glad we had chosen to take our time.
We finally delivered our cargo to a coal mine. We drove right to the mouth of the mine.
We have lots of other pictures to share and will try to load them into a slide show for you. Stay tuned...
