Another crazy day of weather! Sunshine, rain, clouds, snow, fog, almost whiteout snowstorm (not quite as I’ve been in a real whiteout in Iowa years ago!). Numerous mountain passes, crossed the international divide, red dirt, pines, over the next mountain pass round a corner and there are cactus! And then there were the truck drivers! The ones that give truck drivers a bad name…4 lane roads today, 2 each way which normally have worked great. Today was a full moon for truck drivers! They would pull to the left passing lane as you were coming up to them and they didn’t have enough “guts/power” to make if for another 2 miles! It happened over and over again probably cuz there were so many mountain pass to go over! Most passes were about 6,000 feet! Came around the corner on one pass and all of a sudden there were cactus every where! Looked for the next place I could pull over which was several miles further down the road to take a picture!
Arrived at Hannah and Nick’s (John and Kristie Jacobs oldest daughter) midafternoon and got to meet 4 month old Addie, what a cutie! She and I had some special bonding time and did great! Caught up on Hannah’s work as an Occupational Therapist with young children and new mom. After supper got to hear about Nick’s patent and business venture with Vegas Nerve Stimulation, and he was so patient explaining it and then I got to try it! Fascinating! Opps! And yes, Grandma Kristie flew down on Sunday and will join me for the last 4 days of driving from Tempe to Seattle!
