With a soft drizzle on the roof overnight, the sleeping was good. But around 6 a.m. it changed to flakes. What a wet mess when all we wanted to do was enjoy a nice trip! Maybe we will rethink this late October travel. Last year it was hurricane Sandy chasing us out, and this year we again got chased out by weather.
Barney talked to a guy in the rest area that had come down from Idaho, and he said all the high spots on the road were snowy. He was going across Donner, pulling a trailer, and just didn’t know what he was going into!
We went on a couple hours to Winnemucca where we stopped for some breakfast, then just hit the road home and didn’t run into any more weather.
It sounds like there was nasty weather at our back with damaging high winds and lots of snow, and we are happy to be out of there and home for a while.
It was a different kind of trip than our usual, and we only got a few park stamps. I’m sure it won’t be too long before one of us is getting the itch to go again.
