It is 65 hours from my house to yours. If that were 6.5, I'd be there.

Wow, that was a butt puker of a trip. (oops, excuse me) I would have turned around the first mile! Glad your safe back home.

"pucker!!" I meant. :(

It's incredible to think about something so beautiful being so dangerous. I'm glad you made it.

It's been a very long time since I had to drive during a heavy snow. I don't miss a single thing about it.

thanks, everyone. We live in beautiful country here - but it is always wise to respect the country for what she can do to you. I sometimes take chances I shouldn't, which is amazing since I really am cautious (read - wimpy) about taking chances. I know, weird.

I am praying for good weather next week, again. I am taking the Ladybug up to Anc. for a specific ultrasound - that is, if she doesn't have the baby before then - and it will be a one day trip - up and back. So, it would be a blessing if the roads were a lot better. ;-)

Wow, I am 61 hours and 32 minutes from you!!
Like Lisa said, I'd be there in a minute if I was closer!!
I plan on driving up there in a few years to "tour". Beautiful pictures!!
I'm glad you made the trip safe!!
