We made it to Colorado!

After five long days on the road we finally made it to Fort Collins. We left Saturday afternoon and got a wopping 17 miles out of Portland before we hit our first road closuer. I-84 was closed for the rest of the day due to ice, snow and accidents at the Troutdale exit. It opened in the AM and we set out on a 12 hour drive to Fruitland, ID just accross the ID boarder. Lots of snow and lots of 35-40 mph driving. But we made it safe and sound so that is what counts. The next day we set out for Pocatello ID, that only took about 5 or 6 hours, good roads too. That night several roads were closed, so we stayed the night with my grandmother and headed out early in the AM. We made it to Rock Springs WY before we ran into another road closure. Another night in a hotel with the cat and the dog! Luckily it opend the next morning and we made it out of WY alive! We arrived in Fort Collins on Wednesday afternoon, two days later than we had hoped, but at least we made it in one piece (unlike another U-haul drive we passed who was flipped on its side in the middle of I-80). Our appartment is okay, but it is a good thing it is only temporary. I can't imagine going back to apartment living after 2+ years in a house. We have lots of pics so I will post them as soon as we get the internet up and running at our appartment. We are hanging out at the library right now.

As I said, more updates to come. Special thanks to my mom and dad for going through that great traveling experience with us, and for putting up with the dog and cat along the way.
