    Well, made it to the J in rapid city. Woke up to a total #### show. Montana roads suck. Woke up to like 2 inches of snow. However, Montana doesn't believe in road maintenance. So it all compacted to ice. Just about lost it gettin on the interstate. Did 18mph from Butte all the way to the 90/94 split........suck! Waste of a day.

    I'm on OT so its not like I'm donating my time. Just gets annoying when you've got about 3 hours worth of stuff to get done at home and you're stuck driving back to work and putting in another hour on the clock lol.

    Kinda put a wrench into my evening.

    No......oddly enough. It was a taillight train for like 100 miles! I honestly think I bent my steering wheel from beating on it so hard and getting pretty creative with my words.

    Those days where you just need that extra 30-min to a hour would get me but I'd get used to it. No more stopping to sit down and eat. Or those awesome power naps

    We are safe but who knows if we can get going tomorrow

    parked in the middle of a side street - no other place. A nice lady from the city came to check on us and let us know - no chance to get over the pass right

    total ice with spin outs and wrecks

    3.5 hours to go 2.5 miles
