Tuesday- more snow

Woke up this morning to 4-6" of the cold wet white stuff everywhere. And all along the freeway today. We had about 10 minutes where the sun broke through and then it would snow again. But finally, as we were on the final crazy descent down I-80 (at 75 MPH, at a downhill 45-degree angle, around curves, in standing water on the 4 lane freeway) into Salt Lake, it stopped and became dry about the time we hit the valley floor. When we arrived we brought in our rooftop carriers, some were retaining water and so were some of our sleeping bags. Even the better of the two carriers just couldn't compete with 3 days of rain and snow.

But now, I am up late at night, while everyone else is gently snoring because the hotel allowed me to use their laundry- not guest laundry, but the laundry where they do all their bedding and towels to dry my very soaked bedding. Yeah for awesome hotels!

Meanwhile, for everything that only got damp, they are stretched out over our two rooms. I expect the air will do a pretty job on those.
