Thanks. We had a harrowing trip, but it could have been so much worse,. We took the 80 from Cali. We hit bad weather in Utah mountains; whiteout conditions and the like. Nebraska was similar. We had seen numerous storm warnings and basically, we raced the storm and got here. Today, the stretch of Iowa highway that we were on yesterday is now a disaster area, whiteouts, shut-down. We had seen many vehicles, semis and cars alike, in the ditches; many crashes were fatalities.
We left the road in Iowa. An ice patch and another vehicle cutting us off, caused us to do a full spinout and land down an embankment about 20 feet deep. I am just glad that no one hit us while we spun out, etc. We got towed out and reattached the Jeep to the truck (we were towing it.)
Still frazzled.. my snakes had to spend a few nights in snake bags and were fine during the crash. My cat is shaken up and still adapting well. Just want you to know that I am alive.
