The Donner Party Had No Fun


I know I had posted about being snowed in after Fort Nelson.

It snowed during the night and into the morning, but it warmed up enough for the road to clear. The snow was so deep that no snow boot would have been good enough.  Only hip waders would have filled the bill.

We finally got on the road around 11 this morning. They were absolutely wonderful at the campground, helping us get out through the snow and on our way, plus they had great homemade cinnamon buns. When I woke up and saw that it was still snowing, I pictured us being stranded there for weeks, maybe almost forever -- like the Donner Party.
This arrived soon after we did.

What I saw when I got up.

Susan in the snow.

Where is the snow not as deep?

I'm ready to try getting out of here.

  1. Exactly! Just one more adventure for us. I would not have chosen to have snow as part of the trip -- but all's well than ends well.
