... and then we drove home.

Normal time it takes to travel from Las Vegas to Provo: 5.5- 6 hours.
Time it took us to travel that same distance on our way home from Thanksgiving: 9.5 hours.
It was a problem.

We even played, "I spy with my little eye a vehicle that has slid off the road". Who knew it could be quite so entertaining? By the end of the trip we had counted 22 cars and 3 semis. Crazy business.

At various stops there was hesitation to even get back in the car. Never have gas stations looked so inviting.

I was grateful, however, that we weren't these guys. Who rides their motorcycle in a snow storm? When we passed them in Fillmore Pass the temperature was in the 20's and it was snowing hard. Crazy.

Who knew I would ever be so happy to see one of these flying down the road?

I am grateful we made it home safely. It's pretty lucky that of all the people we knew who were caught in the storm and trying to drive back to Provo made it home safely and without incident. I just hope to never have to drive that drive in 9.5 hours again. What a long ride home.
