Road trip!

We’re packing up, braving the elements, and heading to Durango today.

Current temperature in Park City: 3 degrees. Brrrr!

Current temperature in Durango: -15 degrees. Eeeek.

With a foot and a half of new snow here in Utah, I wonder how long the 7-hour drive will REALLY take…? Any guesses?

By tonight, we’ll be cozied up in front of a fire with bowls of my Mom’s potato cheese soup, watching football. Purrrr. Until then, I’m thankful for the cold-weather package on my Subaru and a big furball who will keep my lap warm during the drive.

It’s always an adventure with us…stay tuned for a recap!

Have a wonderful (warm) weekend!

  1. I wish we had some of that snow in Missouri! Have fun!

    • I always imagine Missouri to be snowy and frigid! I’m sure some will come your way soon…

  2. Have fun! We’re still warm here in Texas. Flip-flops and shorts; feels weird taking down all the Christmas decorations when it feels like SUMMER. Maybe not for too much longer though…

    • Ooooh, flip flops! They are only a dream this time of year.

  3. it ws 61 here today, Monday it will be 31 – wierd

  5. It is so cold this weekend! But hold on… You’re in Durango?! I work overtime this week, but we should try to make good on a coffee date! If this posts a hundred times, I credit the blame to the newest version of the WordPress app! I’m having a heck of a time!

    • BAH! I don’t do well with WordPress on my phone and didn’t bring a computer with me. I’m sorry we didn’t get to make a plan to meet! I’ll let you know in advance next time we head that way! You must be FREEZING in the barn. It’s COLD there right now!

      • I don’t do well with it, either – no worries on that one. We’re here for the long haul (or at least through August,) so I’m sure we’ll make good on plans! Chris and I might be working pack trips into the Weminuche this summer, so if you’re ever down for an adventure … ;) It has been SO cold. Did you at least get to enjoy a cup o’ joe from the Steaming Bean while you were in town?!

      • Oooo! Interesting! Tell me more about the pack trips. On horseback? My poor parents have frozen pipes and no water there. Eek. I did not get any Steaming Bean time but did have some yummy appetizers at Mutus one evening… I’d never been there!

  6. 3 degrees!?! OUCH. Safe travels!! :)

    • It was negative 15 at my folks’ house this week. Eek.

  7. Wow and I thought this unusual 30-50 degree weather in Southern California was bad! Stay warm!!! :)
