Hi, just letting you all know that I haven't updated lately because it's been a very busy and SCARY trip for me. I wanted to get enough sleep and be very aware of my surroundings on this trip. I have never driven in snow before, let alone try to drive a big rig in it. I started out driving from Columbus, Ohio and drove until we got to Iowa, where Mike took over. He drove from there to Rapid City, South Dakota. He told me that it would be snowy and if it got too bad, we would shut down. I took over from Rapid City, South Dakota to Missoula, Montana--It was getting ugly by then! There was snow all over the road and along the side. I had to pull off the highway (almost, but not quite) to knock off the ice which was growing on my windshield wipers, and it was nothing nice. I even woke Mike up and told him I couldn't see because there was so much snow blowing across the road. I made it... Mike drove from Missoula to Kent, Washington. The following map is the direction we took.

We had a second drop on this load, which was from Kent, Washington, going to Tualatin, Oregon. I will edit this a little later and finish writing about this trip because right now, I'm tired and going to go to bed.
