Heading To Utah For Christmas 2009

We got to spend Christmas with the kids this year, but was beginning to wonder whether or not we'd even be able to get out of Casper. We finally did despite the snow which kept falling faster and harder. This is what the roads looked like once outside of Casper and heading toward the interstate...

Swirling snow...

Bad visibility at times...

I love these shots of the impending snow clouds...

The beautiful, endless landscape...
Steam from one of the power plants in Wyoming...

Rock formations along I-80...

It looks like this formation could come tumbling down on top of the Hampton Inn...

Oh goody...We're almost at Little America where Joe wants to stop every trip to get his 50 cent chocolate ice cream cone...

Near the Utah border...

Hello Utah...

One of the many, many long trains we see...

Driving through one of the canyons with its frozen lake...
