Hopefully, the pass is clear. It's a beautiful day here at my house, but I know that weather can vary drastically on the 140+ mile trip to get there. 511 currently has the driving conditions listed as fair.
I love taking this drive, especially when the weather's clear. It's a beautiful trip that is generally stress-free as long as I give myself plenty of time to get there. The way back is not quite as fun as it will be in the dark. However, if the skies are clear, the full moon can still make for a spectacular drive.
Well, our snacks and drinks are packed. Our emergency supplies as well as coolers for the Costco run are in the back. All that's left is to eat lunch, pack ourselves in, and take off.
