While passing through the Charlotte, North Carolina airport, I saw something that I knew Ally would love to see. But, since she wasn't there in person, this is the best I could do...

Trying To Smuggle Derek To Georgia
This is when I told him that he was going to get to go home with me. He was so happy.
You think I was kidding? See the suitcase in the background.
Leaving Wyoming
After interviewing for jobs on Thursday, we were going to spend another day in Casper, if necessary or just head northwest to Riverton to make contact with a person I'd spoken with while in Georgia. However, we were warned about an approaching snowstorm heading our direction and decided we should pack it in and head back to Salt Lake City. This is some of the news we were seeing on the television Friday morning.
Based on the temperature, we knew we were definitely not in Georgia anymore!
This was the view from our hotel room.
We had about two inches of snow already on our car when we went out.
The temperature speaks for itself.
These are two pictures I took that show the "white out" conditions we experienced before we even left Casper. Snow was even sticking to the road signs making it difficult to tell if we were on the right road.
These are signs that we didn't want to see with blinking lights. If the lights were blinking, that meant there was too much snow ahead and we'd have to turn around and go back to the town we'd just passed through. The gates would come down making it impossible to continue on the road.
Yes, the temperature continued to drop. I can't remember the last time I was in 32 degree weather.
One patch of highway where it was snowing quite heavily and beginning to stick to the road.
Snow fences like this were located along the road quite frequently.
These two pictures were taken at a rest area on I-80. (This is the same one that Corey and I ate lunch at several years ago when we drove out west by ourselves). The snow was coming down fast and furious at this time.
I just love the way it looks when snow starts to cover everything, except the road.
