      Glad they survived.

      Two “Okies” of their age should know better than to get off the regular route of Hwy 28 towards their destination. Traveling in that part of the country in early spring with snow depths that were recorded this year, requires letting family and friends know the exact route planned.

      Looks like they decided to take a little side trip along the lake front using a road with little traffic.
