Title: My new Project
Post by: Brian Diehl on February 25, 2007, 05:33:38 PM
So, we got up this morning and hit the road by 5am.  The roads were great, but we were the ONLY people on the interstate for about 2 hours.  We learned later that West bound I-80 was still closed and apparently all east bound trucks were getting their Sunday morning rest before hitting the road.  We encountered some bad roads in western NE and eastern IA, but otherwise the driving was just fine.  It was great to not deal with the 50 mph wind gusts from the North today!  We came home to lots of snow, but our neighbor had already run his snowblower over our driveway.  What a blessing to not have to shovel 10" of snow off the drive. 

So, here are some pictures to help you see what I dealt with these past few days:

This picture was taken when we were just 20 miles outside of Ogden.  I wanted to make sure all straps, hubs, and tires were okay.  No issues!  ;D

This was taken at our hotel in North Platte.  That wet snow just stuck to any surface it hit.  I bet I cleaned about 100lbs of snow off after Hilary took this picture.

Brian welcome back, I'm glad we don't have snow like that maybe once every 10 years!  Let the fun begin!

Hey Brian,
Glad to see you made it back all in one piece. Couldn't have picked a better weather weekend to make the trip! Let me know if you run into a problem with unloading. I could bring the bobcat in. It only lifts about 1600 lbs but would supplement the cherry pickers nicely.
