I flew up to my old place, packed everything up, and immediately left in my truck on a 2-day journey to Vegas. An unexpected road closure turned yesterday’s 9-hour drive into a 12-hour one which seriously wore me out, but there were some beautiful views.

I did not expect the 7800 ft. elevation summit nor the three major snow storms. Fun fact: cruise control stops working when your grille is covered in ice. 🥶

@ambulephabus Yup. Gotta clean off the sensors every so often if it's snowy/slushy/mucky.

Glad you made it safely over the mountain!

@JTinMI Thanks! Yeah, I just didn’t expect a blizzard in May. Learning new things about Nevada!

@ambulephabus If the mountain's tall enough, snow can happen anytime. During my days in Colorado, I got snowed on in July and August at the top of Blue Sky, or in RMNP. That shit stung, too, in all that wind!

@JTinMI Yikes! Thankfully I didn’t need chains, I haven’t bought those yet but I sure will now.
