OK, so ONE tooth will do! This came up while we were in NY and grew like a weed thereafter. While in NY, it was difficult to see but could certainly feel it. By the time we got to Idaho...I snapped this one just before our harrowing trip to the great white north...well east anyway.
PS...why do I say "harrowing?" Thank you all for all your prayers. Though I had my doubts, we DID in fact make it to Idaho alive and well (if you don't count all the nerves I lost from being on edge.) It took us 14 1/2 hours to get there (usually a 10 hour trip)
Here's the worst of it--
Blue Canyon...Nevada/California border. Beautiful, slow traffic still daylight, still excited for Christmas to come.
Some where in Idaho at around midnight...I don't know. I've lost all track of time and direction as we had ZERO visibility. I got so quiet (such a rarity that Steve asked how I was doing LOL) at which point I started crying telling him this was more than I could handle. Ahead of us was jackknifed tractor trailer so we here we are in driving actually down the center divide with a police escort or something, I don't know, all I saw were the flashing lights. See the snow drift next to this truck? It accumulated WHILE we were standing there at a standstill, winds whipping around us. Once we got thru it I was disheartened to hear from Steve that we were in the middle of nowhere and there were no hotels as he forged on ahead on empty roads. The lack of population even more disconsoling (is that a word?) I trusted that Steve knew what he was doing in ZERO visibility but when we got to his mom's I joked that I didn't know whether to be mad at him for not pulling over to get a motel room or grateful that he got us there safely. LOL
