We went to Wyoming and Utah to spend Christmas with our families. We chose the wrong day to leave, because we left the day there was a record snowstorm in Vegas. We left in the afternoon with plans to stay in Vegas that night and continue on the next day. As we started out, we heard that the 1-15 was closed near Baker Hill in CA. We then decided to try another route and took the 10 to the 95 near the Arizona border. When we arrived in Needles, NV, the 95 was closed too. Finally at midnight we got a room in Laughlin, NV, since every road to Vegas was closed. It usually takes us 6 hrs to get to Vegas and we had been driving for 9 hrs before finally stopping in Laughlin. The next day we continued on to UT and the roads were nice and clear.
These are pictures of the Hoover Dam which we passed by the next day on our way to Vegas.

Whoa! What a lousy road trip! I had no idea-- sorry I forgot to even ask how your time in Wyoming went. Hope you had fun. After spending 10 minutes outside in sub-zero temps, I admire you even more for braving a winter week in Wyoming!
See you tonight! Take care!
