Kit and Carol on the Road

I thought the stars were in our favor when a small miracle brought Kit's meds (from Singapore since Canada mail is on strike) the day before we were leaving. We got off to a good start this morning. Choosing to go I84 East instead of i5 south. Much nicer road with much less traffic. But somewhere after the Dalles we stopped at a really horrid gas station Subway for lunch and checked weather and road reports. Icy thick fog in the pass and spots of ice. ALMOST turned around and backtracked 2 hours to I5 but decided to give it a try. No worries. We had a truck to follow through the worst of the fog. Broke out of the fog long before the 4500 ft pass where it was warmer at 38 than it had been all day. Arrived in Baker City just after dark at 4:15. Really nice room at the Best Western across from BiMart where Kit has gone just because he can. There is a restaurant here in the hotel where we will have his birthday dinner.
Imagine these photos I didn't take. Truck tail lights through heavy fog. A nearly frozen river by the highway. Cows and sagebrush in the basin backed by snow covered hills.
