The trip up here was very adventurous and interesting. The plan was for us to leave on Monday and I was going to caravan with my roommates Lydia and Michelle. We were going to leave early in the morning but Michelle's car broke down on the way to my house. So I stayed with her to make sure everything got worked out. Lydia continued to Rexburg but Michelle and I received the news that her car would be out of working condition for about two weeks. So we had the fun task of taking everything out of her car (I have no idea how she packed it so full!) and transferring it to my house, and then transferring what would fit into my car.
The Denali to the rescue!
I have no idea how we fit so much stuff in that car!
So then we got home and transferred everything into my car. Poor little Vicky was PACKED. To the brim. Like there were clothes stuffed into every crevice. Ha what a good little car. Then I went to start it....and she wouldn't start! It was a let down to say the least. But we got it jump started that night and thankfully it started again in the morning. We went to Walmart the next morning before heading off to Rexburg to buy a new car battery and of course they didn't have my car's battery. So....that was fantastic. But we had them check and see if my battery even needed to be replaced, and it didn't. So that was good. Then we were off!!
The roads were AWFUL. It was super scary driving. But Michelle was a good passenger and I was able to stay pretty relaxed. It just got intense in a few spots, especially since I couldn't see out my back window or my blind spots. And the car was so heavy.
Here's a little piece of what the roads looked like. Scary!
But we we were very grateful to arrive safely with enough time to move our stuff in, get books, and run to the store quickly. But poor Vicky, she's so dirty now. My snowboard rack froze shut, I had to chip at the ice for 5 minutes to get it undone. But I am happy to have a good car that works and is trustworthy...for the most part.
