50 Miles of Iced Washboard....

Here is a photo of Oregon's Highway I-5, covered in ice. Picture this bumper to bumper, 4 lanes across, moving at a speed of 3-5 hours, and you get the drift of what happened in our world today. We made it 225 miles in 7 grueling hours of driving, much of it with chains on our tires. So much for making it back to California in a timely way! But we are safe, in a comfy motel room in Wilsonville, OR, and prepared to stay here for as long as it takes to get safer driving conditions. Meanwhile, just as we got off of I-5, they closed it down so that plows and sanders could go through. It has been closed for several hours. We can see people sitting out there in line, waiting for the highway to open up again. Don't try this at home!
