 | Note the flags standing almost exactly perpendicular here, I got out of the car for all of 30 seconds before I decided it was too cold. |
We continue driving through Nebraska, and the beautiful state of Colorado onwards to Utah. Snow storm in the Rockies slows us to a crawl at times. Occasionally the rumble strips stir me from my dozing but I'm not driving so it's all good.
Second snowstorm hits us in Utah mountains, we're through it in about 2 hours and back in clear air.
