Left Ashfield about 10:30 this morning, heading towards Pittsfield! Taking the shortest route this time, right through the middle of the country!
Found out that following Waze was not a good idea! So we’re turning around to find 87S!
Gorgeous sunset in Pennsylvania, south of Scranton. Made it on 80W! Now just straight across the country!
Look how the sun made the cool lines through the plane trails!
Made it to Clarion, PA by 7pm! After picking up a yummy Arby’s Rubin sandwich! Thanks to our friend at Shelburne Falls Cork for suggesting a twist top wine for our trip! 🍾🍷
After a great night’s sleep, we woke up to SNOW! Roads are clear though so we’re up and going west on 80!
So close to the southern tip of Lake Erie!
Holy Trucks! This is the most traffic we’ve seen this trip! Trucks 🛻 cars 🚗 tractor trailers!
So glad we did this during the daylight and not during rush hour!
It’s a little cold here! But it sure is a beautiful sunset that we keep following! Next stop, Des Moines for the night.
Arrived safely after picking up some warm soup for supper. It’s single digits out there now! When is the warmer weather happening?!
Good morning from West Des Moines, Iowa! We’re doing pretty good, taking it easy and trying not to push it to get back to Cali.
Shelby has a town in Iowa!
40’ metal corn stock in Shelby!
The snow has stopped, thank goodness! Speed limit still 75mph. Came across this unique bridge over the highway.
Welcome to Highway 80 in Wyoming!
Today should prove to be exciting! There is 60 mph winds up ahead! Beautiful country!
And so it began!
Look at all the massive snow fences!
Bad conditions everywhere here, almost always high winds. Made worse because of the recent snow fall a couple of days ago.
The face of concentration and determination!
Even though it’s not cold and there is no wind here, we’re hanging around so Donner Pass can get cleaned up! 6 more hours and we’ll be home!
Left our hotel at 10am and the weather is clearing up beautifully! Gotta make one stop In Sacramento for Tylor’s Christmas present. Then we should be home by 4pm!
One Christmas present picked up in Sacramento! Next stop will be our last! Amen!
