Our Drive to Blanding

We decided to brave the winter storms and go to Blanding to be with our families for Christmas.
Well we could only travel at a speed of about 30 to 50 mph through Salina Canyon. They had closed this Canyon early that morning because two Snow Plows had slid off the road. Then at noon they had such a bad wreck that two people had to be extracated from there vehichles. I was just fine staying home after hearing all of this, but Trent was determined.

This is a wreck that we came up onto in between Monticello and Moab. We were the second car there, but thankfully the Ambulance and Fire trucks got there first. The police arrived shortly after us. They said everyone was okay, but it was way scarry.
This is the snow in Monticello. Trent kept saying, "Since when do you go through Alaska to get to Blanding?"
There was so much snow in Monticello and in Blanding!
We just could not get enough of it!! The kids just could not believe the amount!!
