Back

I'm back.

Remember when I said I'd be back Monday? Well, my trip back to the lowest point and hottest point in North America was thwarted by snow.

The pass getting over the Sierras that we took out (Highway 88) was closed due to avalanche danger. We drove another 50 miles north to Reno to catch Rt 80 and the billions of people who used the long weekend to ski in Tahoe. So away we went.

Then we hit the parking lot (what was once a freeway) and sat in the blizzard for 3 hours. After 3 hours, we moved the 1/2 mile needed to turn around back to Reno.

Warm beds and showers awaited.

I'm a day late getting back. I'm all tore up about it, you see. Another day away from you, my loyal readers and friends.

So, what do you want to talk about now?

Did you think about the Donner Party during that adventure through the snowy Sierras and look around to see which of your friends would taste the best with A-1 steak sauce? Just kidding, I know that was brutal. Welcome back.
