First, let me just say that I've got all the sympathy (empathy?) in the world for those stuck in Alberta. Normally I'd be gloating over the temperature difference but this is just too much to be amusing. For everyone going through that cold snap, please please please don't do anything dumb and risk your heart or frostbite. Stay indoors and stay warm until at least the weekend when it looks like it'll warm up a bit. I promise to not gloat about the temperature until it's at least not dangerous up there anymore.
Now, the picture of Don I put in the original post wasn't very nice. In all honesty, I let Don drive a bit on Friday (see pic) but after that I relegated him to Navigator/GPS Operator. And since I-15 goes all the way from Sweetgrass to Vegas, well, there's really not much for a Navigator to do.
So, to recap: Saturday morning started out in the rest area north of Great Falls, and ended up in Blackfoot Idaho at the Super Wal*Mart. In between we stopped off in Great Falls to stock up the pantry, stopped off at a pullout between Great Falls and Helena for lunch, and stopped a couple times for gas. All was routine except for a lot of wind and blowing snow and a little detour through the Idaho countryside when the GPS lady decided we wanted to go back to the Wal*Mart in Idaho Falls instead of ahead to the one in Blackfoot. She and I had words (OK, it was mostly my words) after that one, but of course she then proceeded as if nothing had happened. Witch.
The last picture's for Wendy - Bob & Linda eat your hearts out.

I see Don has got comfortable, hopefully this doesn't turn out to be a National Lampoons Vacation. I'm sure Kim & the kids are already missing Don. Have fun you guys. Hope you hit some warm weather soonest.
Marvin & Norma -8 C in Princeton & about -52 C in Ft St John.
Don your not being a very good co-pilot. Guess i needed to give you a few pointers before you guys left. Good to see the snow off the top of the motor home.
Marvin not sure what will be more fun to read your coments or Vic's updates.

If I ever get this thing to work I'II faint. Don, I taught you how to be a better co-pilot than that. Your suppose to stay awake to keep Vic the same. Sorry Vic but welcome to my world, LOL
Heading home tomorrow, weather permitting. -28 and blowing like hell. Maybe have to stay longer, sucks. Grant just told Karen California is having a big snow storm as well, guess no ones safe.
Don just called, they are safe in Navada so all's well. Went through 4 states today and heading to the casino. Time to put a stop on my bank accounts. Have fun.
