First Trip and Still Alive

I woke up around 7am and started to get ready to go. I wasn’t in a big hurry since I knew I was close to my goal. I listened to the radio and heard a semi truck was pushed over last night in the wind. I felt better about the defeat. After drinking some coffee and getting everything stowed for the ride, I looked out the window and it was snowing heavily.

The snow was wet and only sticking a little, but the panic in me put me into overdrive as I quickly got unhooked and headed out. Of course at this point I was trying to figure out how I had offended Mother Nature.

As it turns out the snow was local and as I hit the road north there was no snow and the wind had died down tremendously. I had a somewhat leisurely drive to Ohio and planned to enjoy the holidays with family and friends.
