So on our way back from Spokane, Colin and I went on an adventure about 30 feet from the Idaho stateline, mile marker 196 to be exact. We were driving down the road and the snow was blowing like CRAZY over the roadway. It was a nice day, blue sky and everything but the visibility was worse than if it had actually been snowing. So Colin began to slow down and we passed a truck that was justs chillin on the side of the road. "I wonder if there waiting for the wind to die down" I said. Then Colin said "They'll be waiting a long time." Then it happened, "We're SLIDING, WE'RE GONNA HIT A SNOW BANK" Yep thats right. We slid off the interstate right into the 3 ft of snow on the side of the road. Thank goodness it was soft snow because it helped to break the fall. (if that can even happen with a car.) And then we waited for about 2 hours before we were able to be pulled out. Little did we know that a truck with a trailor flipped behind us and 2 more jeeps in front of us flipped. The state patrolman said.."Jeeps are no good on this ice" Luckily Colin handled it very well and kept us from not only hitting a pole but from flipping the Jeep. And Someone was watching out for us cause the only thing wrong with the Jeep is we broke our license plate cover! Such a blessing!
