18 hours in the car. Left Fargo at 4:30 AM...5:30 their time. Drove through all of ND...Then Montana...Cut through W Yellowstone and into Idaho. That was a beautiful drive! Finally through Pocatello where we thought we might stop overnight with Lowell if we were tired, but pushed through to SLC! Made it in almost exactly 18 hours including stops from Fargo to Becca's door. Rain storm galore! It was sincerely frightening. White knuckle driving, hydro-planing, flooded underpasses that were closed and then having to drive over a flooded on-ramp to get back on the freeway. I was more scared than I'd ever been in my life driving through that moving water! But, we got through it safe and sound. I even saw a dingo in ND...but Becca thinks I was seeing things. She didn't see it run across the road! Bozeman, MT was my favorite little city we drove through! I could seriously live there...yup, true story. In Yellowstone we saw a bald eagle eating a dead deer carcass on the side of the road, a coyote cross the road, a squirrel run into the road and SO much beautiful scenery it took my breath away...when I could see it through the rain :) Grateful that we got home safe on a long and scary drive. That storm we drove through is the one that just caused all those tornados in OK! It was a doozy, that is for sure...and I'm glad I didn't have to drive through tornados! This was definitely the best road-trip ever and I honestly didn't want it to end :) I could've driven a few more hours before dropping Becca off. I'm glad we get to do it again June 1st for Thelma and Louise half in Moab!!!
