I did not leave Seattle at the crack of dawn this morning. I left it in the dead of night.
The roads in Seattle at 4 am on a Sunday morning are pretty much empty and I made it from Seattle to Hope, BC in the record breaking time (for me, obeying the speed zones – pretty much) of just 3 hours.
The roads continued to be relatively empty and I proceeded to make really good time until just south of Quesnel, when I ran headlong into a snow storm – and me with summer tread on the van. 🙁
Prudently, all of the drivers – at least those just in front and behind me – decided that instead of clipping along at 100-110 k (60-70 mph), a stately 70 to 80 k (45-50 mph) was a much wiser course to follow.
The truck in the ditch and emergency vehicles heading toward it were, no doubt, great re-inforcement!
But I got home safe and sound, albeit a little white around the knuckles (and elevated bp!)

In spite of the dreary day I am very happy to be home. I think I’ll go crash now. And pray for good weather the next two weekends or the crafts fairs are going to be a bust…..
