The day started normal . ..
 |
| It was 60 and sunny when we left |
 |
| The clouds started rolling in... |
 |
| Then it started misting |
 |
| Then we were driving in the clouds |
 |
| The Spud Drive - In with Extra Large spud on truck |
 |
| When we entered Wyoming from Idaho |
 |
| it started getting worse |
 |
| visibility was 100' |
 |
| Then it started freezing and was getting slick |
 |
| The wipers couldn't keep up |
 |
| Not the time to be driving a motor home through the mountains |
 |
| It was hard to to tell where the road ended and cliff began |
 |
| then the engine started to loose power |
 |
| we weren't sure we could make it up the hill and there was no place to pull over. |
 |
| We would have to pull over to clear the windshield and mirrors |
 |
| The wipers couldn't keep up |
 |
| We ended up changing course, going down the mountain and heading south @ Jackson Hole. |
 |
| Fueled up and luck would have it we also talked to a diesel mechanic here |
 |
| The storm started to clear and we limped to the next big town ~ Rock Springs, WY |
 |
We finally made it to a Cummins Service Center and took RV for a test drive on the airport road! |
 | |
| The first snow for The Mini :( |
 |
| Thought the roads were clear ~ and for a little while they were . . . |
 |
| Pulled over dozens of times to clear windshield ~ ugly drive! |
 |
| the storm left some interesting icicles (front driver's side~only) |
 | |
| We pulled into a KOA late, happy to be off the road. Thanks to Brittany!! She helped us find KOA | (that is thick ice!) |
 |
| Wild (back dual wheel) |
 |
| The mini wasn't made for this weather. |
