We’re back home; unpacking, cleaning up and getting our shit together. I’ll attempt to post the rest of the trip, but if you hear nothing just assume I’ve been sucked back into work.

It happens.

Day 2 was certainly an event. Leaving Idaho we hit the mountains and snow and it was dramatic; check out the stunning frozen lake.

The archway made from antlers was in Jackson, WY. The town looked pretty neat; we would have spent some time there if schedule had permitted.

After Jackson, we headed further up the mountains and into some serious snow. You can see in one photo where it’s starting to take over the road. Shortly after it became patches of road in a sea of white. Jon assured me he was taking more photos, but it turns out he was too busy trying to get phone reception. It was sporadic, but he managed to fit in leaving a message with his brother letting him know they might not see each other again.

It looked worse than it was though. I’m not saying I was never concerned, there were moments when all you could see was white, but mostly the snow was thin and loose enough on the road that any skidding quickly got your tires in contact with the road underneath.

As we came down off the mountains you’ll see the landscape became desert-like.

A very memorable day’s drive indeed.

Jon only got four months notice for the show in Chicago, and he’s done a pretty awesome job of pulling it together.

We hit the road yesterday. I love road trips! The VW has been great so far – very comfortable. There’s been some snow, but nothing too extreme.

We’re currently in a hotel room in Burley, Idaho, morning of Day 2, getting ready to leave.

Talk at you soon!
