WHERE IN THE WORLD IS PAM - DAY 5

I'm sure Pam won't mind, but I thought I would share in her own words what her path is today - from an email yesterday:

I have been a weather channel junkie today (apart from the time I spent on the couch, examining the inside of my eyelids). The way west is a torturous journey (historically speaking). We don't want another Donner Pass debacle here.

This evening, the forecast is getting more defined. I-80 to Salt Lake City tomorrow is a dicey proposition. Sleet, snow, mix of rain and frozen stuff falling from the sky, all 500 miles from Denver to Moroni's Last Stand. From there, though, all sunny skies and dry weather from Thursday on, through Idaho, Oregon (and the lure of the Columbia River Valley) and Wash.

My other choice is I-25 north to I-90, a relatively straight shot with a jog west and up to Billings. Clear until Casper, WY, then rain to Billings in the afternoon. Then some rain on Thursday to Butte (but no snow) and then Friday, clear as a bell into the Pac NW coast.

So, I pondered. And I made a reservation at the Motel 6 in Billings, MT., so I have a place for Echo and me to sleep tomorrow night.

Onward.

Love, P
