After leaving Wyoming, we still had two days left in the car. It was sort of a blur. I remember that it sucked and it was hot and I was grumpy. I also got a horrible heat rash across my back. We pretty much drove straight for the last two days, stopping only for gas and food. Here we are at a KFC, where I enjoyed a KFC snack pack.

Casey really thought this picture was going to be hilarious. I'm not sure if it is or not. I guess it is sort of funny that I might have a huge plate of fried chicken for a snack. Anyway, the worst part of the drive was entering California over the Sierra Nevadas. The Corolla was really struggling with the trailer and downgrades were even more terrifying (until I turned off the overdrive and went down in third gear. duh.) I was really afraid that Casey and I would get stuck at Donner Pass and be forced to survive the winter on Wendy's. That would truly be a nightmare.

After the Sierra Nevadas, the rest of the trip was smooth sailing. Before we knew it we were home and enjoying a delicious bottle of California wine! Here we captured the warm reception we received from Elsie, who was eager to get right back to ignoring us.

ah, "kitty time"....
I have to agree with Casey that the plate full of chicken and accoutrement as a "snack" was pretty funny. Glad to see you made it safely (w/the exception of some heat rash).
Was Wendy another passenger in the Corolla?
My first thought upon seeing the KFC picture was, "that snack pack looks like a good deal."
