But at least it may have saved someone the disappointment of getting over there and finding the loop road closed (like Elizabeth, for instance.....)<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth,<BR/>You can tell now why I said to be sure to check the road conditions before heading over there. The funny thing is that my husband has next week off and we had actually wondered if we couldn't defer our McKenzie Pass trip 'til then. It's a good thing that we didn't. :)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-74257926131745022432008-11-06T21:26:00.000-08:002008-11-06T21:26:00.000-08:00I guess that I will have to leave the drive for ne...I guess that I will have to leave the drive for next year then!

Its really cool how people can identify so much with your posts, and it strikes such deep chords with them. I can tell that a lot of work goes into each post, and that you really take your time and care about it. Keep it up.<BR/><BR/>~AdamAdamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18321619352981746353noreply@blogger.com
